Besiktas vs Malmo Preview

Besiktas lack consistency this season, while Malmo successfully defended the title in Sweden. Visitors lost just one of their last seven matches, so I feel confident backing them with a double chance in Turkey.

Head to Head

Malmo have a 3-1 advantage against Besiktas in 4 matches.

They last met in December 2018, the game being won by Malmo 1-0 in Turkey.

Besiktas Form

Besiktas had a disappointing start to the Europa League campaign, suffering two straight defeats in first two games against Ajax 4-0 in Amsterdam and Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 in Istanbul.

The Black Eagles were tagged underdogs in the third round against Lyon in France, but got away with a 1-0 victory with Gedson Fernandes scoring the only goal in 71st minute.

Their recent form in the Turkish Super Lig has been a letdown though. After losing the big derby to Galatasaray 2-1 in late October, Giovanni Van Bronckhorst’s side got defeated by Kasimpasa 3-1 at home last weekend.

Besiktas Injuries & Team News

Besiktas’ top scorer Ciro Immobile is ruled out for this match due to a hamstring injury.

Malmo Form

Malmo have clinched another title in the Swedish Allsvenskan, collecting 62 points in 29 matches (one round to go) and sitting eight points above 2nd placed Hammarby.

Their results in the Europa League have been quite unpredictable, starting the campaign with a 2-0 home loss to Rangers, then bouncing back with a 2-1 win against Qarabag in Azerbaijan. Erik Bothem was the hero, scoring a brace.

Malmo had 1.42-1.74 expected goals, 60% possession and 16-15 shots in the third round to Olympiakos but lost 1-0 at home.

Wingers Sead Haksabanovic and Stefano Holmquist Vecchia will miss this match due to injuries.

Verdict

Besiktas v Malmo FF

Besiktas lost their last two games in Turkey and their star player Ciro Immobile got injured. Malmo lost just one of their last eight matches, so I feel confident backing them with a double chance. BTTS is also tipped.
