Besiktas vs St Pat's Prediction

Besiktas started off their continental campaign this term in the Europa League but were knocked out by Shakhtar Donetsk, losing both legs to drop to the Conference League. They will put that behind them as they seek to make it to the group stage of the Conference League for the second time.

St Pat's heavy loss at home in the first leg means they have all but been eliminated from the qualifiers.

Barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable victory in addition to a clean sheet.

Prediction: Besiktas 3-0 St Pat's
