Besiktas – Lausanne Tip Conference League, Qualification, Playoffs, Second Leg on Thursday, 08/28/25 at 7:00 p.m.
In the Conference League qualification playoff second leg between Besiktas Istanbul and Lausanne-Sport, everything is still open after the 1-1 draw in the first leg. And in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if the match went into extra time with another 1-1 draw.
Either way, I expect goals from both sides in my Besiktas Lausanne tip. The odds of around 1.70 are quite generous at Oddset, considering that Besiktas is the favorite going into the game, but Lausanne usually doesn’t go without scoring a goal of its own.
As an extension of my bet, the tip “Besiktas win & both teams to score” is a suitable alternative. The odds of 2.70 are even more impressive.
My Besiktas Lausanne tip: Both teams to score
These are the arguments for my tip:
- In the first leg, Besiktas had more possession (64%), but Lausanne had more chances on goal (6:2).
- The bet would have been successful in 8 of Besiktas’ last 9 games.
- Lausanne has scored at least one goal in each of its last 20 games.
Besiktas vs. Lausanne AI predictions:
You can’t do without AI these days. So I picked up my brand-new rotary dial phone and called ChatGPT without further ado. After a bit of small talk, he revealed his Besiktas Lausanne AI prediction to me.
Given the high risk, the AI is actually going for a result bet. With a 3:1 score, the soccer betting providers are offering odds of around 11.0. That’s risky, of course, but not entirely unrealistic given the starting position.
Predicted chance of winning:
| Besiktas win |
Draw |
Lausanne win |
| 67% |
19% |
14% |
ChatGPT sees the tip “Over 3.5 goals” as a medium risk. The odds are 2.20, which I think is reasonable.
As a safety-first approach, the AI also offers the bet “Over 2.5 goals.” The odds are 1.50, which is not exactly exciting, but perfectly acceptable. Although there were no three goals in the first leg, there were in the three previous Besiktas games.
