In a few days, we are going to have the second qualification round games.

The most attracting matchup to me is Besiktas - Shakhtar. The Ukrainian side started the season much earlier. They have been training hard for weeks and already played official games in the Europa League as well. Arda Turan's methods have changed the team into a more powerful one. Maybe the old Shakhtar could be back too but still early to say that. On the other hand. Besiktas aren't ready in terms of many aspects (signings, form etc.). This is why I don't think they will be able to continue on their way in this tournament.  Tongue

Beşiktaş isn't exactly ready, but Shakhtar isn't one of the best teams in the world either. I'm feeling a bit optimistic about this; I still think Beşiktaş is a stronger team than Shakhtar. Also, Arda Turan doesn't inspire much confidence in me for some reason Cheesy Beşiktaş will be the winner of this match.

If such a match were to take place a month from now, I'd be certain Beşiktaş would win. Right now, it's still a bit of a challenge. Still, I think we're in for a good match
