Besiktas vs Malmo FF Betting Tips - BTTS
Both teams come into Wednesday's Europa League contest having made slow starts to their European campaign. Picking up one win and two losses apiece, Besiktas and Malmo sit 27th and 25th respectively in the recently revamped competition.
Besiktas return to home comforts after claiming a vital and somewhat surprising 1:0 road win at Lyon last month. The Turks had begun the competition with a heavy 4:0 defeat against Ajax before a 3:1 home reversal against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Competing in the Europa League for the first time since 2020, Besiktas rarely keep clean sheets in this competition. The Turkish hosts conceded at least one goal in their last nine home EL ties since 2018. The Black Eagles lost five of those nine fixtures.
Led by Dutch boss Gio Van Bronckhorst, Besiktas have also lost their last two matches, leaking five goals in defeats against Galatasaray (2:1) and Kasimpasa (3:1).
Malmo make the trip to Turkey unbeaten in six of their last seven matches after a 2:2 draw at Hammarby on Sunday. Three of their last four games finished deadlocked, while five of their last six games saw both teams score.
On the road, Malmo can usually be relied upon to score. Di blåe netted at least one goal in eight of their last nine away Europa League matches, and I expect the Swedes to repeat the trick on Thursday.
While Besiktas are justified favourites to win, I´m much more confident in backing BTTS at the Tüpraş Stadyumu.
