Inter Turku finished in second place in the Finnish Veikkausliga last year, six points behind KUPS, who became the champion. Now the team is also in second place and is five points behind the same club. In the Conference League selection, the Finns started with a confrontation with Sarajevo. The away match was completed with a score of 1:1, and at home the team from Turku beat the Bosnians with a score of 2:1, advancing to the second stage. On the road, the Finns managed to avoid defeat from Basaksehir (1-1), with Inter scoring first. This result surprised many, because the Turks were the clear favorite of the confrontation.
Istanbul Bashkşehir remains a regular participant in European competitions, but it was not possible to compete for medals in the Turkish Super League. The team finished the season in fifth place and three points behind the fourth Besiktas. In recent friendly matches, the Istanbul team managed to beat the Austrian Salzburg (2:1) and the Hungarian Puskas Academy (2:0). At the same time, the start in the Conference League can hardly be called successful - Nuri Shahin's team could not beat Inter Turku, which was inferior in class.
Istanbul Basaksehir under the leadership of Nuri Shahin is not impressive. The team is far from leading in the Turkish league, and at the start of the Conference League it almost lost to Inter Turk, but still managed to win back. It won't be easy for the Turkish team on the road either. The Finns realized that such an opponent can be successfully fought, so we do not expect an easy victory from Basakşehir.
