Besiktas vs Midtjylland predictions mark the pick of the Europa League second qualifying round fixtures. Besiktas host FC Midtjylland at Besiktas Park on Thursday 23rd July, with kick-off at 7pm (UK time). This first-leg tie offers a compelling mismatch between Turkish pedigree and Danish European expertise.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gap in recent European form is enormous. Midtjylland finished third in the Europa League league phase last season with 19 points from eight games. They beat Nottingham Forest away and Celtic at home before a round-of-16 exit on penalties. Besiktas had no such joy. A 2-6 aggregate defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in last season’s second qualifying round sent them into the Uefa Conference League path. Lausanne-Sport then knocked them out with a 1-0 win at this very ground. The Turks finished fourth in the Super Lig with 60 points. Midtjylland were runners-up in the Danish Superliga with the same tally, scoring 72 goals in 32 league games while lifting the Danish Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Midtjylland to win<\/strong><\/td>12\/5 with Coral<\/a> (29.4%)<\/td>\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>The visitors bring European credentials that Besiktas simply cannot rival. Midtjylland’s Europa League campaign returned 19 points from eight league phase games. They finished third, above Porto and Real Betis. Two wins at the City Ground, a 3-1 demolition of Celtic and a 6-0 aggregate rout of KuPS underlined the quality. Besiktas went the other way. A 2-6 aggregate humiliation by Shakhtar Donetsk came first. Elimination to Swiss side Lausanne-Sport in Uefa Conference League qualifying followed. Besiktas ended their domestic campaign with one win from their final five league games. At 12\/5, the Danes represent significant value as a battle-hardened European side facing a club whose recent continental record reads played six, won two, lost three.<\/td><\/tr>
Dario Osorio to score anytime<\/strong><\/td>4\/1 with Ladbrokes<\/a> (20%)<\/td>\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Osorio stepped into the creative spotlight last season with six goals and 11 assists across 33 appearances. The Chilean international contributed two goals and five assists in 12 Europa League games, the highest assist tally of any Midtjylland player in the competition. His dribbling and directness on the ball create the chances that Dju and Brumado thrive on. With the score-or-assist qualifier giving the bet two routes in, Osorio is the player most likely to produce a decisive moment in transition. At 22, his pace and willingness to run at defenders make him a handful for teams sitting deep in European qualifying ties.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
