Matchfixning or what
@Mojje what makes u say that
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.
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
Btts
Besiktas DNB
Ajax are just the name now. Also Besiktas coach is Duch so knows them well. X2 .

Over 2.5
1. BTTS 2. Besiktas DC
@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
