Besiktas vs Tirana

The official season has not yet started for Besiktas, although the team recently played a series of friendly matches, which they won. The Turkish team will be looking to continue their success in the international tournament.

Tirana have reached this qualifying round having passed the preliminary stage. However, I don't think the team is good enough to take on Besiktas and their progression in the tournament is unlikely to go any further.

Besiktas managed to keep up a good performance last season and were in fact the team that came closest to the top two in the tournament. After clinching first place, Besiktas won 23 of their 36 games, maintaining a good offensive level with an average of two goals per game.

With four defeats, Besiktas is, along with Galatasaray, the team that has lost the fewest games in the tournament, while it has managed to show a very good level at home, losing only one of the 20 games played in the season in these conditions.

The team has recently played a total of three friendlies, drawing the first and winning the other two. In the last match, the team's top scorer Vincent Aboubakar scored two goals and is expected to start against Tirana.

Tirana managed to finish second in the Albanian championship, thus qualifying for the Europa League Conference.

Tirana had a very good tournament, winning a total of 20 games, being very solid in attack, averaging almost two goals per game.

Although the official season of the local league has not started yet, the team already managed to play competitive matches in the first qualifying round, winning the decisive match against Dinamo Batumi with a tight aggregate score of 2:3.
