A place in the Europa League quarter-finals will be at stake when Copenhagen and Basaksehir face each other at Telia Parken in the return leg. Copenhagen aim to overcome a one-goal deficit, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Basaksehir. The Danish side failed to win the domestic trophy, meaning that they will be looking to save the season by going all the way in the Europa League. Betin offers the best odds for this match. Midfielder Rasmus Falk Jensen, who missed the league match against Nordsjaelland through suspension, returns to contention.
Basaksehir, on the other hand, did remarkably well to clinch their first ever Turkish Super Lig trophy. Considering that the Turks have already met their goal, we believe that home win should be considered. The hosts want this win more than the visitors; therefore, we predict that there is a big value in betting on Stale Solbakken’s troops.
HIGHLIGHTED PLAYER (VIKTOR FISCHER):
Viktor Fischer is a professional football player who was born in Aarhus, Denmark on 9 June, 1994. Fischer used to play for several Danish clubs during his youth career (Lyseng, Viby, AGF, Midtylland) and in 2012 he made his senior debut for Eredivisie giants Ajax. Betpawa has several options for betting on this game based on analyst predictions.
The Dutch forward played his first game for Ajax on 20 October 2012 in a 3-3 draw and he scored his first goal for the Dutch outfit on 31 October 2012 against ONS Sneek in the KNVB Cup. Viktor is the grandson of former Danish football player Poul Pedersen. Both prefer to play on the wing, but Viktor Fisher is capable of playing as attacking midfielder or centre forward as well. It has to be noted that he scored ten goals in 23 appearances for Ajax in the 2012/2013 Eredivisie campaign.
On 14 November, 2012 he made his Denmark debut in a friendly against Turkey. Fischer was widely regarded as one of Ajax’s hottest prospects and he eventually joined Premier League newcomers Middlesbrough in the summer of 2016.
HIGHLIGHTED TEAM (BASAKSEHIR):
Istanbul Basaksehir are one of the youngest clubs in Turkey. Founded in 1990, Istanbul Basaksehir play their home games at Fatih Terim Stadium, the venue that was opened in 2014. The Turkish club club have yet to win the national championship, but they did well to finish the 2016/2017 Super Lig campaign in second place in the standings.
As a result, Istanbul Basaksehir booked their place in the Champions League qualifiers and thanks to a win over Club Brugge in the two-legged tie the capital club set up a meeting with La Liga side Sevilla in the play-offs. Despite producing fine performances in the double-header against the star-studded Spanish side Istanbul Basaksehir eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages.
Nonetheless, the club will represent Turkey in the group stages of the Europa League in the 2017/2018 season. It has to be noted that the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Eljero Elia, Emre Belozoglu and Gael Clichy played for Istanbul Basaksehir in the 2017/2018 Champions League qualifiers.
