@StickandMove Do u think besiktas win ?
@Mojje I'm leaning the most towards a draw. Ajax is lacking creativity but they have the home advantage. They have been solid resultwise in front of their fans (only losing to Panathinaikos within 90 minutes). I haven't seen any game of Besiktas but they look rock solid also. With the likes of Immobile, Rafa Silva, Fernandes and and Raschica I think they have experience and quality. I can see them getting on the scoresheet. Maybe even outscore Ajax by one margin
Matchfixning or what
@Mojje what makes u say that
Besiktas have good players. They might do a good campaign. I think the same about Galatasaray.
@hellreaper Agreed, also Besiktas has a good manager which helps
Besiktas DNB
Ajax are just the name now. Also Besiktas coach is Duch so knows them well. X2 .
Getting Ripped
Besiktas is actually really poor!
Why is Besiktas starting with a boy of 17 years old as a striker?
Gedson Fernandes +850 / Rafa +350 TSA
@KingKeno To Score Anytime?
@KingKeno What is TSA?
@hellreaper To Score Anytime
@KingKeno I see. Those players played well, specially Gedson but the rest of the team didn't perform at the same level. Better luck next time with your predictions.
