Beşiktaş will face the Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk, led by Arda Turan, in the first match of the UEFA Europa League 2nd qualifying round tonight. It's very important to get a good result in this match. The second match will be played in Poland due to the war in Ukraine. We can say that Shakhtar Donetsk doesn't have home advantage, but Beşiktaş does and they will have to use it very well. If the team cannot continue in the Europa League, it would be bad both financially and in terms of prestige. I think that if Shakhtar Donetsk is overtaken, the next round will be played against an easier opponent, because Shakhtar Donetsk is a very strong team. There are young Brazilian players in the team. A fast, dynamic, attack-minded team. It will be a difficult match. I wonder what Beşiktaş's new signings will do. This is one of the biggest question marks, because Beşiktaş didn't play with their ideal 11 in any of the friendlies. This will be the first serious test and no preparation has been done.
