[Football- Conference League] 22.8/ 20:30 Lugano- Besiktas

Lugano is aiming to reach the Europa League group stage for just the third time in their history and the first time in five years. They finished second in the Swiss Super League last season and started the 2024-25 campaign with three straight wins, before a 3-2 home loss to Luzern in their fourth match two weeks ago.

After finishing sixth in the Turkish Super League last season, a significant 46 points behind Galatasaray, Besiktas have made a strong start to the new campaign. They began with a commanding 5-0 win over Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Cup.

Besiktas continued their momentum with two league wins: a 2-0 victory over Samsunspor and a 4-2 win against Antalyaspor in their first home game of the season last weekend. Despite conceding in the first 23 seconds, Besiktas turned the game around, maintaining their perfect start to the 2024-25 season.

Besiktas have been in great form lately, going unbeaten in their last seven matches and scoring at an impressive rate. They defeated Lugano 2-0 in their most recent meeting. Lugano, on the other hand, will enter this match after a 1-2 home loss to Partizan in the second leg of the previous round, but advanced on aggregate. Besiktas, with a strong away record, have won their last two away matches, scoring 7 goals in the process.

Lugano's home matches have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals in 7 of their last 10 games. They've scored 2 or more goals in 13 of their last 20 matches but have also conceded 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 10 home games.

Both teams have started the season with strong attacks, so this match could feature plenty of goals. However, with Besiktas in better form and a stronger squad, they have the edge and are likely to win the first leg. With both sides capable of scoring, I like the Over 2.5 goals for this game.
