Besiktas vs Lugano Odds
Besiktas Team News
Besiktas started their competition in this season’s UEFA Conference League in the second round of qualifications, where they easily eliminated KF Tirana in the two-legged tie (3:1 and 0:2). Similar results followed in the next two rounds against Neftchi Baku and Dynamo Kyiv, and Besiktas secured their spot in the group stage with six victories, clearly signaling their ambitions for this season. Their first match in the group stage was played in Belgium against Club Brugge, and despite being the underdogs and trailing 1:0, the guests showed resilience and managed to secure a crucial 1:1 draw at the end of the match, which will be significant for their progress in the competition.
However, unlike their European performance, Besiktas has had variable results in the national championship. After seven played matches, they currently occupy the fourth position on the table. What might concern their fans is that they have already suffered two defeats during this period. A victory against Lugano would help them erase any mistakes from the earlier part of the season, and there is no doubt that Besiktas will give their all to achieve it.

Lugano Team News
Lugano finished the previous season of the Swiss national championship as the third-placed team, earning them qualification for the UEFA Europa League, where Belgium’s Royale Union eliminated them. However, this defeat secured them a place in the group stage of the UEFA Conference League, which is undoubtedly a significant achievement for Lugano.
In their first home game of the group stage, Lugano hosted Bodo/Glimt, and to the surprise of those expecting a high-scoring match, the game ended in a 0:0 draw. It’s interesting to note that both matches of the first round ended in draws, and there is no doubt that we can expect an exciting battle for the top two spots that guarantee qualification to the next round of the youngest European competition.

Besiktas vs Lugano Prediction
After the draw in the first round against Club Brugge, Besiktas will not calculate in the duel with Lugano, and we believe that they will enter the game offensively from the first minute, supported by the incredible support of the home fans. If we add that Lugano is also playing a very attacking-oriented football this season, it is clear why we expect many goals in this match.
