Slovaks have better indicators. They managed to earn four points, and the goal difference is 7-7. And what's the point? Slovan has a five-point margin behind second Wolverhampton, which the English will not miss anymore. Nevertheless, Slovan has a theoretical and tiny chance to get out of the group, and the Slovak team will probably not bury it with its own hands, but on the contrary, it will go to the field with the desire to win the upcoming game.
And to win is to score. Therefore, coach Kozak doesn’t have a great choice of tactical constructions. More precisely, there is only one choice. To attack and attack again, and, of course, to score. In principle, Slovan can do both things. It scored Wolverhampton and upset leading Braga two times. Besiktas was beaten with a 4-2 score in Slovakia at all. There will be goals in the upcoming game either. Slovan needs to score and Besiktas needs to somehow make excuses for the failure in the tournament and the defeat in Slovakia in front of its fans. The Turks no longer have any mental load for the tournament position. Therefore, they can play openly, with a focus on the attack. I won’t predict who will win, but both teams played with Over 2.5 goals scored in 3 out of 4 matches in the group. And they will surely manage to score three goals in the upcoming meeting. Slovan has forward Sporar, who scored 11 goals in 9 matches. He did it in the championship of Slovakia, and three more goals were scored in the last four matches of the Europa League. As for the hosts, the attack group is also capable of scoring a goal, two or more - Erkin, Diaby, Ljaijc, Yilmaz, and others. Perhaps Brazilian Douglas will recover for this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
