Europa League, League Phase, Thursday, 28.11.2024 at 18:45
Not easy times for anyone who supports Besiktas! The Black Eagles are once again in a troubled phase, but at least they want to continue the good progress from our Europa League tips.
In Thursday’s home game against an opponent with no points at all, the home side are favored accordingly. In my Besiktas Maccabi Tel Aviv betting tip, I’ll tell you why this could be a close game and why the “Under 3.5 goals” bet is ideal
As a Besiktas fan, it’s actually quite simple: On the one hand, there are their own performances, which simply cannot be steered in a controlled manner, and on the other hand, there is what arch-rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are doing.
The biggest problem now is that the competition has far fewer problems and, with not even half of the new season gone, a hole has already opened up that is far too big.
Besiktas are 13 points off the top of the Süper Lig, with three defeats and a draw from their last four games, which is an impressive indication of the team’s form.
Incidentally, the same team that swept aside Galatasaray 5-0 in the national Super Cup in the summer. In the most recent match, they led 2:0 against Göztepe, but lost 2:4 in the end.

The mood among the Turks is at rock bottom, perhaps the international sounds will manage to pull Besiktas out of the crisis. In the Europa League, the situation is exactly the opposite of the league, where they started weakly and countered strongly.
0:4 against Ajax Amsterdam and 1:3 against Eintracht Frankfurt, at first it seemed as if there wouldn’t be much apart from goals conceded. On the third matchday, they then managed a somewhat surprising 1:0 at Olympique Lyon.
Besiktas stayed in contention, also won against Malmö and have now caught up really well thanks to the 2:1. The last two games got going rather late, with the score at the break being 0-0 in both cases.
If there are no goals in the first 45 minutes on Thursday either, you can secure odds of 3.50 at Bet365. Incidentally, their own goals came relatively late in these two matches.
After losing their last two home games in the Süper Lig by a total of seven goals, I’m a bit wary of calling Besiktas a strong team at home.
Even Ciro Immobile can’t single-handedly save his team; the most dangerous attacker has now gone four league games without a goal. It has now been a good 13 years since Besiktas last played Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Two wins – 5:1 and 3:2 – were recorded in the Europa League group stage. However, since these results were a long time ago, I would no longer use them as a reference value – although the Eagles are favored again on Thursday.
The odds show you an average of 1.53 to 5.50. I’m assuming that Maccabi Tel Aviv will of course also be put in the role of the underdog so clearly because things are not going well internationally.
The Israelis started the competition with a 1-2 loss against Braga and then lost 2-0 to Midtjylland. 1:2 against Real Sociedad and 0:5 against Ajax Amsterdam, apart from eleven goals conceded, the team collected nothing.
While Tel Aviv were very unlucky against Braga (goals conceded shortly before the end and a lead squandered), the most recent defeat was very clear – but Besiktas also lost heavily against Ajax.
Two goals scored, the offensive efforts are almost non-existent. Center forward Dor Turgeman might be the only hope in Istanbul, he scored at least once and is the most dangerous man in all competitions.
Besiktas need something to boost their confidence! The Black Eagles are currently in a huge crisis in the Süper Lig, are not winning anything at all and have quickly opened up a large gap to the leaders.
They now want to take heart from the Europa League. After two wins, they are aiming for number three, although the games they have won have been on shaky ground. Offensively, Besiktas have a lot of catching up to do.
Maccabi Tel Aviv have not scored a single point in the Europa League and have only scored two goals – a duel in crisis! I therefore decide to place the following bet:
The 3.5 goals will not be scored!
