Besiktas welcome Hradec Kralove to Tüpraş Stadium for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League Third Qualifying Round tie. The Turkish side already holds a 1-0 advantage from the first leg, played at the same venue just days ago, which means Hradec Kralove must score away from home to stay alive. Vincenzo Italiano’s side have been solid defensively in Europe so far, and Hradec Kralove’s Czech league form alone will not be enough to overturn this deficit against a side operating in front of their own crowd.

Midfielder Orkun Kökçü has been Besiktas’s most influential player in recent weeks, scoring twice and completing a high volume of passes across the last five matches. For Hradec Kralove, Tom Sloncik leads their attack with three goals in six recent appearances and will be the main threat if the Czech side is to cause an upset.

A standout stat from recent matches: Hradec Kralove have accumulated 31 corner kicks across their last five games, compared to Besiktas’s 24. Despite playing fewer total shots, Hradec Kralove generate significant set-piece pressure, which could be relevant in a match where they need to push forward.

Besiktas vs Hradec Kralove Prediction

Besiktas enter this second leg with a one-goal cushion and play at home, where they have shown consistent defensive discipline. Hradec Kralove lost the first leg 0-1 and now face the task of scoring on the road against a team ranked significantly higher. The bookmakers reflect this reality, pricing Besiktas at around 1.27-1.33 across major sportsbooks.

We predict a Besiktas win and clean sheet. Italiano’s 3-4-3 system creates width and defensive cover simultaneously, and Hradec Kralove’s attack, while active, managed zero goals in the first leg. The Czech side has drawn three of their last eight matches, showing a tendency to settle for containment when under pressure. Besiktas will likely control possession and look to extend their aggregate lead early.

Besiktas average 107 total shots across their last five games versus Hradec Kralove’s 63, showing a clear dominance in attacking intent. Hradec Kralove pick up yellow cards at a higher rate, with 12 bookings in five matches compared to Besiktas’s 7, and both teams committed 59 fouls in the same period. Hradec Kralove’s discipline could become a factor if they chase the game in the second half. Their pass accuracy is also notably lower, at 1773 accurate passes from 2159 attempts, suggesting they may struggle to build through Besiktas’s press.

Team Analysis

Besiktas have been in solid form over the past 30 days, winning four of their last seven matches. Their most recent result was the 1-0 first-leg win over Hradec Kralove, which came on the back of back-to-back victories against Midtjylland, 2-0 and 1-0 in what appears to be a pre-season or qualifying double-header. Prior to that, they dropped points in a 2-3 defeat to Spartak Trnava and drew 1-1 with OFK Malzenice. The Midtjylland wins show Besiktas can grind out clean sheets against organized European opposition, which is encouraging heading into this second leg.

Hradec Kralove arrive at Tüpraş Stadium on the back of a 2-1 win over Ostrava in the Czech league, their most recent match before this tie. That result showed some resilience, but they lost the first leg of this very fixture 0-1 just days earlier. Before that, they drew 0-0 with Bohemians 1905 and beat Tromso 3-1 in a Europa League qualifying clash. Their last eight matches produced four wins, three draws, and one loss, which is decent form, but their inability to score in the first leg is a concern. They will need a significantly improved attacking performance to progress.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Besiktas the Favourite

• Moneyline Besiktas 1.28 | Hradec Kralove 9.11
• Draw 5.38
• Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
• BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A

The odds tell a clear story. Besiktas at around 1.27-1.33 across the board is a short price, but it reflects the reality of this tie. They hold the first-leg lead, play at home, and are the stronger side on paper. The draw at 5.38 with Pinnacle has some value if you believe Hradec Kralove can contain them, but given the Czech side’s need to score, a tight draw seems unlikely. Hradec Kralove at 9.11 or higher is a long shot that only makes sense if their recent away form convinces you they can pull off a genuine surprise.

Possible Starting Lineups

Besiktas Possible Starting Eleven

Besiktas look set to line up in their familiar 3-4-3 shape, with Alexander Nübel between the posts after 21 saves across four recent appearances. Tiago Djaló, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Emirhan Topçu form a three-man backline that has proven hard to break down. In midfield, Orkun Kökçü is the standout name, with two goals and high pass volume over the last five games. Semih Kılıçsoy leads the forward line with two goals and an assist, and Oh Hyeon-gyu adds physical presence up front despite picking up three yellow cards recently.

Hradec Kralove Possible Starting Eleven

Hradec Kralove are expected to deploy a 4-1-4-1 or compact 4-4-2 shape, with Adam Zadražil in goal after 21 saves in six matches. The back four of Čech, Cihak, Uhrincat, and Ludvíček provides decent cover, though Uhrincat’s three yellow cards in six games is a risk in a match where discipline matters. Tom Sloncik, with three goals in six recent appearances, is the player most likely to test Nübel. Mick van Buren adds experience and work rate in attack, while veteran Vladimír Darida will look to control tempo from midfield.

TipsGG Match Prediction

Besiktas are in control of this tie and have every reason to approach the second leg with confidence. They outshot Hradec Kralove significantly across recent matches, kept a clean sheet in the first leg, and boast a goalkeeper in Nübel who has been reliable under pressure. Hradec Kralove’s 12 yellow cards in five games suggests they could get stretched chasing the game, and their pass accuracy differential against Besiktas’s press is a real problem.

We predict a Besiktas win, likely by a single goal, with Hradec Kralove failing to score. The Besiktas to Win to Nil market is the best value play here, and Under 2.5 goals aligns with the cautious, controlled approach Italiano’s side will take given their aggregate advantage. Corners should be plentiful given Hradec Kralove’s need to push forward late, making Over 9.5 corners a sensible side bet.
