Having failed to qualify for any of the three continental competitions last season, the Besiktas boys will be hoping to move one step closer to ensuring their presence in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. They'll take on Danish outfit Midtjylland, who played in this competition last term, reaching the Round-of-16. They too will want to be involved on the continent this time around. Before playing a second leg in Denmark next week, the pair will clash in the Turkish capital of Istanbul.
Both teams should expect themselves to get something from this game, especially as neither has been defensively sound in recent warm-up games. In other words, we shouldn't hold out much hope for either in a defensive sense, with goals likely to be scored at Besiktas Park, where a bet on 'Over 2.5 Goals' appears to be the best angle of attack in a betting sense.

Our Besiktas Istanbul vs FC Midtjylland Prediction
The hosts arrive at this junction having not quite clicked in their warm-up games. They've scored a few goals, notching twice last time out, but they've been conceding a few too many, so it wouldn't be a surprise if they failed to keep it tight against a team that had no problem scoring goals in the Europa League last season. The visitors have also scored and conceded plenty in recent warm-up games, and with both showing a clear fondness for high-scoring games, 'Over 2.5 Goals' could be a little less leniently priced.
Our Besiktas vs Midtjylland Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.
