Besiktas managed only one win in five pre-season matches against underdog opponents, signaling form concerns ahead of this contest. Their next challenge is Midtjylland—currently one of the strongest teams in Scandinavia. With momentum on their side, Midtjylland could capitalize on Besiktas’ struggles and pull off an upset in Istanbul. The key takeaway: Besiktas must improve quickly to avoid disappointment.

Midtjylland had a great run in the Europa League last season and kept the core of that roster. I feel they are heavily underestimated against inconsistent Besiktas. 

Key Stats  


  • Besiktas are winless in 7 of their last 8 matches (including pre-season). 
  • Besiktas have seen BTTS in their last 2 matches. 
  • Midtjylland have won 5 of their last 7 matches (including pre-season). 

No Previous Meetings 


This is going to be the first head to head match between Besiktas and Midtjylland. 

Besiktas Didn’t Look Good in Pre-Season 


This is going to be the first competitive matches for Besitkas this season, while their results in recent friendlies were quite disappointing, winning just one out of five encounters. 

They are hoping to be more competitive in the Turkish Super Lig this season under new head manager Vincenzo Italiano who was appointed in early June. 

The Black Eagles wrapped up the previous campaign in 4th place with just 60 points accumulated through 34 rounds, performing equally at home and on the road. 

Midtjylland Had a Great Run in UEL Last Season


Midtjylland lost the Danish Superliga title race to AGF Aarhus last season in a dramatic fashion after failing to win a single match in the last four rounds. 

They had more success in the Danish Cup, beating FC Copenhagen 1-0 in the grand finals to lift the trophy. Han Beom Lee scored the only goal in the 82nd minute on Doguhan Simsir’s assist. 

The Wolves delivered great results in the pre-season, beating Lillestrom 1-0, Silkeborg 4-2, Cardiff 6-0 and Odense 4-1, while the only draw was recorded against Malmo 2-2. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Besiktas (4-2-3-1) Alexander Nubel; Onur Bulut, Tiago Djalo, Emmanuel Agbadou, Ridvan Yilmaz; Wilfred Ndidi, Salih Ozcan; Vaclav Cerny, Orkun Kokcu, Ilhan Fakili; Semih Kilicsoy

Besiktas' biggest signing (so far) Leandro Trossard will miss this match due to poor fitness. It is rumoured that Mohamed Salah might join the club in upcoming weeks. 

Midtjylland (3-4-3) Elias Olafsson; Han-beom Lee, Ousmane Diao, Rasmus Kristensen; Dario Osorio, Philip Billing, Pedro Bravo, Oliver Byskov; Denil Castillo, Franculino Dju, Friday Etim

Mads Bech Sorensen is the only absentee for the Danish side, recovering from a knee injury.

Verdict

Besiktas faced five underdog teams in pre-season and claimed just one victory. Midtjylland are one of the strongest Scandinavian teams at the moment and I like their chances of pulling an upset in Istanbul.
