Besiktas vs Hradec KralovePrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Besiktas host Hradec Kralove on the back of a 1-0 win in the Czech Republic, Kilicsoy scoring on 80 minutes in front of 9,300 spectators. At the Besiktas Stadium in Istanbul the Turks must manage a slim but valuable lead. A win earned with ten men What makes the first-leg result heavier still is the sending off of Kassoum Ouattara on 71 minutes for a second booking, on his first start for the Turkish club. The decisive goal arrived nine minutes later, with the side a man down. Besiktas had already knocked out Midtjylland, winning 1-0 at home and 2-0 in Denmark with Kokcu scoring in both legs. An opponent that can strike Hradec Kralove are no makeweight: they eliminated Tromso 4-1 on aggregate and finished last season fifth in the Czech league with 43 goals scored. Van Buren scored in both legs of the previous round. The verdict: Besiktas score, without running riot The scenario asks the hosts for between one and three goals. Besiktas need to score to settle the tie, but against an organised opponent thrashings stay rare at this stage. I read it around 68%. My take: a Turkish win by a contained margin.
