Besiktas vs Lausanne Prediction & Betting Tips (28 August)

While the Dams of the Conference League are in full swing, focus on an attractive confrontation between Beşiktaş and Lausanne-Sport.For this return match, the suspense is at its height after a first round where the 2 teams left back to back 1-1. And it was Beşiktaş who did the good deal by returning from Switzerland with this draw, even if the stambouliotes can feed regrets. Indeed, while they were led to the break, they were surprised less than 10 minutes from the end of the game. Despite everything, the Turks have the opportunity to improve this good result and to win, in front of their audience, their ticket for the group phase.

For his part, Lausanne clearly compromised her chances of qualification after this false step at home. Even if they did not have the ball most of the meeting, the Swiss have created many opportunities, and drew 21 times to the goal. This lack of efficiency has sealed their offensive inclinations and above all prevented them from seeking victory. If the men of Peter Zeidler want to continue the adventure, we will have to stay alive in this meeting as long as possible and why not, hoping for a favorable scenario.

Besiktas are expected to deploy their familiar 4-2-3-1 setup, with Orkun Kokcu and Ndidi forming a robust midfield shield. Milot Rashica and Rafa Silva will provide width and creativity, while Abraham leads the line. The absence of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain due to an MCL injury is a blow, but Joao Mario’s recent performances suggest the midfield remains well-stocked. Lausanne, meanwhile, will likely opt for a cautious 4-3-3, hoping to exploit transitions through Kaly Sene and Diakite. Their recent 2-1 win over Vevey in the Swiss Cup showed resilience, but the challenge in Istanbul will be of a different magnitude.

Given Besiktas’ attacking momentum and Lausanne’s vulnerability on the road, a 2-1 scoreline in favor of the Turkish side feels like a realistic outcome. Besiktas have won four of their last six Conference League home qualifiers, scoring nine and conceding four. Lausanne have only one win in their last six away European fixtures. With Abraham in red-hot form and Solskjaer’s side growing in confidence, expect the Black Eagles to edge this contest, though Lausanne’s attacking spark could make it a nervy finish.
