One of Thursday's UEFA Europa League fixtures comes our way from the Turkish capital of Istanbul. In front of what will be an expectant home crowd, Vincenzo Italiano's in-form men will look to continue moving in the right direction, and given that they're up against a Marseille team is struggling, they could easily do that.
Even at odds of -155, which may seem short at first glance, the hosts are worth betting on to bag two or more goals. This is a game between a hugely confident home team and an away team that is down in the dumps right now. The visitors have been far too open at the back of late, conceding lots of shots, chances and goals, while the hosts have been in fine scoring form, especially at home, where they've scored 12 goals in their last three games.

Our Besiktas Istanbul vs Marseille Prediction
Right now, in front of their own fans, Vincenzo Italiano's men are in hot form, so much so that they could easily be priced less leniently than -155 to score at least two goals against a Marseille team that has opened the season in relatively weak defensive shape. The visitors will also be lacking confidence following three straight defeats, in which they've shipped a total of six goals, and that lack of confidence only adds to the appeal of a bet on home goals.
In each of their last two away games, the men playing their soccer in France have really struggled to contain teams, especially on the break, surrendering lots of chances. They're in trouble here.
Our Besiktas vs Marseille Pick: Besiktas to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
