Cherno More vs Istanbul Basaksehir prediction
Coached by Ilian Iliev, Cherno More finished third in the Bulgarian First League last season and qualified for the UEFA Europa Conference League as a result. They were beaten by Israeli Premier League outfit Hapoel Be’er Sheva in the second qualifying round of this competition last season.
They now face an Istanbul Basaksehir side that have drifted away from when they were at their peak, qualifying for the group stages of the UEFA Champions League in the 2020/21 campaign, for example. They disappointed massively in the league phase of this competition last season, with just one victory in their six matches.
Cherno More will believe they have a chance to heap more European misery on the Turks, and it should make for quite an open and entertaining first-leg in Bulgaria.
Cherno More vs Istanbul Basaksehir tip: Over 2.5 goals
