Hradec Kralove managed only 35% possession on average in their recent matches against Tromso. Despite allowing 12 shots on target and making just four themselves, they managed to hold out. However, it's unlikely they will be as fortunate in the upcoming clash. The clear recommendation is to back Tromso for an away win, as their superior attacking stats strongly favor them.

Hradec Kralove were lucky in the previous round against Tromso, scoring four goals from four shots on target while the opposition missed several chances. I am backing in-form Besiktas to win on Thursday. 

Key Stats  


  • Besiktas have won their last 2 matches. 

No Previous Meetings 


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

Hosts Were Lucky in the Previous Round


Hradec Kralove earned a spot in the Europa League qualifiers after finishing 4th in the Czech First League last season. 

Their first match in the qualifiers was in Norway, beating Tromso 1-0 where Mick van Buren scored the winner just before stoppage time, while opposition missed a penalty and had 9-1 shots on target. 

Van Buren played a key role in the reverse tie as well, registering one goal and one assist in Hradec’s 3-1 victory in front of the home crowd.  

David Horejs’ side is having a solid start to the new First League campaign, beating Pardubice 2-1 at home in the opening round, while last weekend’s clash at Bohemians ended without goals. 

Besiktas Looking Strong Under Vincenzo Italiano


Earlier this summer, Besiktas appointed Vincenzo Italiano as the new head manager hoping to be more competitive in the Super Lig title race this year. 

Their pre-season results were far from impressive, registering losses to Spartak Trnava 3-2 and Widzew Lodz 2-0, while clashes against Mosonmagyarovari 0-0 and Malzenice 1-1 ended without a winner.   

However, the Black Eagles improved and defeated one of the best Danish clubs Midtjylland twice in the previous round, 1-0 at home (had 3.04-0.67 xG, 74% possession) and 2-0 on the road. Orkuk Kokcu appeared on scoresheet on both occasions. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Hradec Kralove (3-4-3) Adam Zadrazil; Filip Cihak, Jakub Uhrincat, Frantisek Cech; Tomas Wiesner, Vladimir Darida, Daniel Trubac, Daniel Horak; Tom Sloncik, Mick van Buren, Ondrej Mihalik

Hosts have no reported injuries or suspensions ahead of this clash.

Besiktas (4-2-3-1) Alexander Nubel; Michael Murillo, Felix Uduokhai, Emirhan Topcu, Ridvan Yilmaz; Wilfred Ndidi, Salih Ozcan; Vaclav Cerny, Orkun Kokcu, Junior Olaitan; Hyeon-gyu Oh

Besiktas' biggest signing this summer Leandro Trossard is not registered for this round and won't be available.

Verdict

Hradec Kralove averaged around 35% possession in their clashes against Tromso, allowing 12 while firing just four shots on target in this tie. I don’t think they will be lucky twice in a row, so an away win is the best bet.
