📖 The Preview

Beşiktaş should have enough to edge this one at home, and with both sides expected to score, it won't be a cruise. Žalgiris have been decent recently and won't just roll over, but Beşiktaş's form has been strong and the home advantage in a European knockout tie counts for a lot. The Turkish side should find the net twice and hold on despite a nervy moment when the visitors pull one back. A 2-1 win feels right — enough quality to get through, not quite enough to keep a clean sheet.
