UEFA Europa League 2026/27 Season

[ingiltere]

I see they've set the odds at 2.01 (Goated) for Beşiktaş against Hradec Kralove. You can't pass up these odds. I think Beşiktaş will win both matches. There's a big difference in quality between the two teams. I think Trossard will start playing in this round too.
The odds for over 2.5 goals are also good which is 1.84 but this bet is a bit risky given the possibility that Beşiktaş might not concede any goals. The defense looks much better with Italiano. Beşiktaş could score 3 goals on their own, but it's still not worth taking that risk. The moneyline bet looks like a much smarter one.

The odds for Besiktas to win have started to drop and are already around 1.9. I think since this is an away game, things are a bit more complicated. A minimal away win, around 0-1, might be enough. Or they could even draw and hope to win at home. And by the way, Midtjylland beat Besiktas twice 1-0 and 2-0 in both matches, the total was under, so I probably wouldn’t risk betting on the total.

Midtjylland and Hradec Kralove are not equally strong teams. That's why Beşiktaş, despite scoring few goals in the previous qualifying round, overcame a tough opponent. I think their opponents in this round are easier and they might score more goals. I hope Beşiktaş wins well in tomorrow's match. Also, the Europa League teams will now be determined, so these matches become even more significant. A bad result in these matches will directly threaten their Europa League qualification and perhaps even prevent them from participating in the tournament. Every team knows this.

I'll most likely place a parlay bet on Maccabi Tel Aviv and Beşiktaş win. I'd add Benfica here, but the odds are too low. Salzburg and PAOK have also been given low odds, I think they should have been offered higher odds compared to their opponents. Pafos and Anderlecht aren't teams to be underestimated. That's why I'm skipping those matches.

Maccabi Tel Aviv's win odds are 1.98 and Beşiktaş's win odds are 1.86. If we place a parlay bet, it gives us odds of 3.68. I think that's pretty good and the chances of winning are very high. All odds are given by Kikabet by the way.

We see even Benfica starting from the 2nd qualification stage. They have to win 3 stages to reach league phase. The Liga Portugal is sending only 1 team to the EL and even that has to go through this many phases.

But they should be okay with leaving all these behind anyway I think. They are a serious contender for even winning the tournament.

Benfica is a team with proven ability in their domestic league and often troubles opponents in competitions like the Europa League. I have no doubts about Benfica's capabilities, and they will certainly strive to qualify for the Europa League through these qualifiers. Accustomed to facing strong, major teams, they will not be intimidated and should be able to defeat Hearts in this Europa League qualifying tie.

[jakdanyel]

I'm thinking of taking some risks for the EL matches today.

- Beşiktaş to win @1.92

- Salzburg to win @1.52

- Benfica to cover -2.5 handicap @1.83

Total odds we have here is 5.34. The riskiest choice is the last one obviously. Because it gives only around 1.80 for a win by at least a 3-goal gap. 

But even Sturm Graz destroyed Hearts by 4-0 home earlier. Benfica should be able to do this much easier theoretically.

There was a Benfica team that played tooth and nail against Real Madrid. I remember I really liked their performance last year. Even their presence in the Europa League this year surprised me because we were used to seeing them in the Champions League. This year, the favorites in the Europa League aren't just the English teams. Strong European teams like Juventus, Milan, and Benfica will also be in the Europa League this year. By the way, I want Beşiktaş to win today's matches, I hope they do. We'll be playing away, but we're stronger than Hradec.

Benfica is a powerhouse in its domestic league and also competes in UCL where it frequently faces formidable opponents. The team also possesses great mental strength this was evident during the recent Europa League qualifiers where Benfica lost the first leg against St. Gallen 2–1. However, thanks to their resilient mentality they staged a comeback in the second leg, securing a resounding victory.

In the next qualifying round, Benfica will face Hearts at home. They should easily navigate this match especially given that the team is now managed by Marco Silva who took over from the previous coach Mourinho and he will undoubtedly strive to deliver a top tier performance to ensure Bnfica advances through the Europa League qualifiers.

Indeed that last choice is really risky and the odd doesn't really worth the risk, still, I think Benfica is going through some adjustments stage as Mourinho just left them and I don't think they are that strong, as for Hearts, losing 6-0 to Sturm in aggregate doesn’t look good but I think they are going to hold Benfica down a little and I would prefer and under booking instead of the over choice.

I didn't see the rangers match in your choice, are they unpredictable?

Starting line-ups has been announced for Hradec Kralove - Beşiktaş game. Ouattara is in at left back instead of Rıdvan. Other than that, it's the expected starting 11. Emirhan - Djalo tandem has really worked. Agbadou is on the bench but that's okay, consistency is better.
This starting 11 is sufficient for this round. However there aren't many options on the bench who can change the course of the game. We need new signings for next rounds. If there are injuries, the quality drops significantly. We need a stronger bench to compete properly in Europe.

I really didn't like Beşiktaş today. Especially in the defending part. They tolerated their much weaker opponent too much. But thankfully Nübel had a wonderful match. 

He must have made near 10 saves, I didn't count it exactly. I think he was definitely the man of the match also. It looks like they have made the right decision on their goalkeeper transfer.

I expect a much more convincing win by Beşiktaş next time. A clear message should be given in Istanbul.

[karabiber]

Beşiktaş played against a team they should have easily beaten, yet they let unnecessary stress and panic get the better of them. Compared to matches I’ve watched before, the pace was a notch better, but their composure had diminished just as much. Beşiktaş’s opponent was a classic Central European team. Unskilled but very tenacious, physically strong, and never straying from tactical discipline. Winning in such an environment was crucial. They wouldn’t be able to put up this much resistance in Istanbul.

The match, which could have been won much more easily if Cerny had been a bit more skillful, turned into a real struggle, but winning it somehow was important for Beşiktaş. Because if the opponent had won 1-0, they could have caused problems for Beşiktaş in the second leg by playing tight defense and capitalizing on a ball played deep behind the defense.

This has been like a chronic problem for Turkish teams over the years. We see them struggling in the qualification phase of tournaments by UEFA. It doesn't matter which one it is and how strong team they face.

Beşiktaş experienced this tonight but still managed to win the match. That red card could have cost them really high if they were playing against a more capable team. They still owe this win to not only Semih Kılıçsoy but also their goalkeeper Nübel.

[ingiltere]

Based on market values, Beşiktaş should've crushed their opponent. But the reality is different. As Italiano said, every match in Europe is tough. Beşiktaş finished their third match without conceding a goal. This is partly a matter of luck, but overall we can say they played solid defense. Nübel has been a great addition to the squad. If Ersin had been in goal today, Beşiktaş would most likely have conceded at least one goal.

We've missed seeing a Beşiktaş team that doesn't sit back on defense even after a red card and keeps looking for goals. We didn't see that under Sergen Yalçın. I think there are plenty of reasons to look to the future with hope. But it's also a fact that this team needs reinforcements.

[MK-74]

First of all, I'd like to congratulate Beşiktaş on this victory. Even though they were reduced to 10 men, they still managed to win. Under normal circumstances, I would have expected a much more comfortable victory for Beşiktaş, but this time things turned out differently because their opponents simply aren't a team at Beşiktaş's level.

Beşiktaş will most likely secure another win at home next week and advance to the next qualifying round. From there, I hope they will go on to qualify for the group stage. Based on the football they've been playing, I believe they have what it takes to reach the group stage.

With 10men, they didn't flop, rather they hit the road with formidable defendlines and have to carry themselves up the top level. This is what we love to see because Beşiktaş is not an average team, they just prove that they're eligible to compete for elite titles next season. I give them their accolades because they're one of the most competitive sides and will always maintain consistency because that's how to stay at the top.

Besiktas is really struggling a lot and they have been in the round before and now,still a big win for them with 10 men and they continue to go ahead. Besiktas is showing real power in hard matches for them and always in the important moments they come on top. I think they need a few more good players to get this team going well. In the second leg they will be playing at home and i think they should win a lot easier. For Besiktas it would be good if they could get some players for the other part of the season. They are really close with this win to going into the group stage.

And in addition to this win away from home, they get to play in their home stadium and with a lead in their back I think this is over. Hradec Králové won't make a comeback in the next match.

From time to time these matches against supposedly weaker teams can be tricky and if you get a decision agains you like the red card, the consequences can be bad, but given that they were able to still win it says a lot about what to expect in the second leg from Hradec Králové. This was their chance I think and if they had won this match, a miracle is not impossible, but Besiktas has been the overwhelming favorite in any event.

[execijutiere]

Beşiktaş didn’t play poorly, but managed to win on the road. We can say they put on a performance against Hradec Králové that at least guaranteed they would advance to the next round. After Kassoum Ouattara was sent off, Beşiktaş played the final 20 minutes with 10 men but at least avoided returning home with a loss. Semih Kılıçsoy came off the bench and scored just 3–4 minutes later, giving his team the lead.Beşiktaş is not going to lose this home game anyway, and the fact that they managed to come away with a win from this away match—even while down to 10 men—is an added advantage for them.

Not poorly maybe but they should have been better at finishing. The reason behind that is not having a good finisher in the lineup right now. I respect Oh but he isn't that great currently. 

Vlahovic has been on their radar and it's said that they are close to finalizing the deal. I hope Trossard also plays in the 2nd leg to improve productivity. I expect more goals from Beşiktaş in that match.
