The giant Besiktas will fight with Stoke City to be leader of the Group. But while Stoke City already assured the presence on the next stage, Besiktas still has to get at least one point to assure it. It won't be a easy game but i think Besiktas is very capable of beating Stoke City. And with some giants coming from Champions League (Manchester United, Manchester City, FC Porto, etc), this Europa League edition will be motivating as never. And that's why this game with Stoke City is so important.
The winner of the Group will avoid those giants in the next stage. The second placed will have a very hard round to play. Besiktas has big ambitions in the competition and they have value enough to win this game. The Turkish team is motivated and they will have under them the big support of their fanatic fans, maybe one of the biggest supports. This also means Stoke City will be under lots of pressure here.
Besiktas has lots of good players, with extra value. When playing at home, their motivation is even bigger. It is a great advantage to Besiktas and a big disadvantage to Stoke City. I believe in the hosts win in this game.
