Besiktas of Turkey reached the playoffs with a decent home and away win over Feyenoord. They triumphed 5-2 on aggregate. They are ranked as 59 in Europe by UEFA. They are coached by Slavan Bilic, a manager with some decent experience and a good leader. The squad is unusual for Turkish sides with the majority of players actually Turkish. Of the foreigners Demba Ba is the top player having scored 3 in the competition already. The likes of Atiba Hutchinson and Ramon Motta are not top draw. The Turkish league has yet to begin so the 2 Feyenoord games are the only competitive play so far. Historical Champions League results see 66 games with 22 wins (33% win success) with 12 draws and 32 losses. Arsenal had to playoff after finishing 4th in Prem. They come here on the back of a closer than expected opening game win. Scraping through 2-1 against manager less Crystal Palace. Arsenal bought big over the summer with Alexis Sanchez, Debuchy,Ospina and Chambers. They got rid of a few big players too with Vermaelen and Sagna leaving at the top of their game. A few others left but the likes of Bendtner, Jenkinson and Chu-young were not Arsenal quality. Arsenal will still miss German trio Ozil, Mertesacker and Podolski as they step up their fitness. Kieran Gibbs is injured from the weekend. Arsenal are ranked 10th best in Europe. They have a wealth of Champions League experience with 175 games (88 wins at just over 50% win success) – they have reached last 16 in the last 4 years running.
Although Besiktas had a fine double header against Feyenoord the step up in class to Arsenal will be too much. Even without the world cup winning Germans in the squad The Gunners can still boast the likes of Sanchez, Campbell, Ramsey, Wilshire, Oxlade-Chamberlain Arteta and Rosicky. The defence is shuffled a little but looks ok with Monreal and Debuchy either side of Chambers and Koscielny. I think Besiktas will be undone by the fact they have to get something at home. Arsenal will be patient and pass the ball to death as they always do. I think they will have to much class and grab a win here.
Back Arsenal to win at 1.72 (8/11) with Betfair
