Tottenham v Besiktas Betting Tips, Preview and Prediction

Tottenham play Besiktas in Thursday’s Europa League and we have got a preview and free football betting tips.

The absorbing, yet sometimes uninspiring thrill of Europe League football returns on Thursday night as Tottenham take on Turkish heavy-weights, BeÅŸiktaÅŸ.

Whilst the tournament has always played second fiddle to the illustrious Champions League and is often seen as a more of a burden than a pleasure, both Mauricio Pochettino and Slaven Bilic will be taking this tie seriously.

Prediction for Tottenham v Besiktas.

Whilst Bilic’s men failed to qualify for the Champions League at the hands of fellow North London opponents Arsenal, BeÅŸiktaÅŸ have made an impressive start to their 2014/15 domestic campaign sporting a lofty second place position four games into the Turkish season. They currently reside above Turkish Supa-Lig favourites Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, and seem to be adjusting well to life with their new summer signings.

Their marquee summer signing was the acquisition of Premier League favourite Demba Ba and for our first Spurs v Besiktas betting tip we are backing Demba Ba to score. He is 9/1 to score first at Betfred but we will take the 7/2 he scores anytime.

Fans of English football know all too well just how dangerous the Senegalese hit-man can be after impressive spells with West Ham, Newcastle and Chelsea respectively. Slaven Bilic will be looking to test the worth of his new signings against Spurs.

For Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham, this summer was more a period of consolidation than wild spending. After splashing the £100 million Gareth Bale money on a whole host of new faces who needed time to settle down to life in English football, Spurs learnt that they must be more cautious in their approach to summer transfer dealings this year.

The former Saints boss has an almost fully fit squad available for Thursday night’s game, as he has regimentally quashed all mid-week rumours suggesting that Jan Vertonghen will not be fit enough. Youngster Ryan Mason may start again for Spurs ahead of the absent Moussa Dembele, who didn’t make the starting XI in last weekend’s North London derby.

Whilst both BeÅŸiktaÅŸ and Tottenham are enjoying relatively successful starts to the new domestic season, each side will be disappointed with their opening Europe League results. Bore draws with Asteras Tripoli and Partezan Belgrade not only failed to support the global appeal of Europe League football, but they also displayed how both BeÅŸiktaÅŸ and Spurs may not be well enough equipped to keep up with the vast string of European matches that will soon come their way. Although both sides failed to live up to their reputations last time out, we should see a lot more fight and desire in Thursday night’s match. Expect a tight game, but because Spurs have the advantage of playing at home, expect Tottenham to prove their slight superiority and ultimately win the game. Bet on Tottenham to win a tight game by taking the 13/5 with Bet365 that Spurs win by a single goal with Bet365.
