After the initial failures, Besiktas has made some progress in the Europa League, two victories in a row have brought the Eagles back into the fight for the playoffs. Maccabi cannot play at home on the international stage, this is clearly having a negative impact on the players' performance. Today they will have to play on a neutral field in Hungary, it is unlikely that they will be able to interrupt the series of failures in the confrontation with an opponent who has gained momentum, who, moreover, has a more solid squad.
Our prediction is a Besiktas victory with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.95

Maccabi has nothing to lose, a draw will not suit the Israeli club, they need to attack from the first minutes. The nominal guests are quite capable of playing for their goal, but the opponent has a powerful attack led by Ciro Immobile, it will be difficult for Maccabi to play to zero.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.72
