Tensions in the middle east will force Besiktas to host their Europa League match against Maccabi Tel Aviv in Hungary on Wednesday. This Match Day 5 encounter finds Kara Kartallar 18th in the league phase standings while Maccabi are 35th. Read on for our prediction.
Besiktas are three points outside the top-eight and will hope to bag a third straight win in the competition. After two opening defeats, they won 1-0 at Lyon and in the last round 2-1 at home against Malmo.
Their run-up to this game hasn’t been great though, as they fell 4-2 at home to Goztepe, leaving them with one win in five matches.
Maccabi Tel Aviv are hoping for some turnaround after four straight losses in the league phase. They are one of two teams yet to register a point in the competition. On Match Day 4, they were thumped 5-0 by Ajax and have now conceded 11 goals.
That makes theirs currently the most porous defence. However, they are coming from a good win in domestic action, beating Bnei Sakhnin 4-0 to go second in the Israeli league.
That win snapped a four-game losing run and Zarko Lazetic will hope his charges carry the same to Europe. Away losses to Braga and Ajax, however, suggest this could be another demanding encounter.
