Man, i dont know if any of you guys its feeling the same, but this season i see all close matches, ""big"" teams really strugling against little ones, or winning by small margins, i mean in some way this its good for the competition itself, but i dont know what to think about the bigs teams.

In the first leg of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, Beşiktaş defeat their opponent 3-1, and won the second match 2-0. Vincent Aboubakar scored a perfect goal. In the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, Beşiktaş will Neftçi.

In the first leg of the second qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, Adana Demirspor draw their opponent 1-1, and won the second match 2-1. In the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League, Adana Demirspor will Osijek.

Adana Demirspor won the match in the last minutes with a goal from Ndiaye. They got a red card and were able to take the win. Cluj had everything in their hands and dropped it. Besiktas also won easily with a red card and they are looking really good for the upcoming season.

It's to end understimating these clubs from tiny countries - everyone now knows how to play football. C'mon after loss 0:2 against Sutjeska, who could have thought that Santa Coloma from Andorra will make comeback and will win 2nd game 3:0. Or Hamrun from Malta will eliminate Dinamo Tbilisi, despite getting red card in start of 2nd half. Progress Niedercom from Luxembourg were leading 2:0 against Midtjylland and Mitjylland managed to reach next round after scoring goal in extra time. Maribor too, they won against Differdange from Luxembourg 4:3 after extra time. Damn, 12 yellow cards were shown in this game, 7 of it on extra time.
From other games, worth to mention upset - Twente got eliminated by Hammarby after extra time. A bit sad, wanted to see Twente in groups.

Yeah, they lost too much on 1st leg, today their task to make comeback wasn't impossible, but very difficult.

That is what happens when teams from nations with top heavy good teams end up not doing great on European competitions and they end up resulting with not getting into the group stages or higher. Turkish teams didn't do so well on coefficient points, so they resulted in conference league, they have literally no one at the europa, they have one team playing a lot of prelim games and the rest are all on conference league.

Of course they are worth a lot more than anyone else, but also even though they are, they never had good results, which resulted with them being in this situation. They should do a lot better this season with all teams there ending up with a great point returns for the nation if they want to go higher and have better competition.

Beşiktaş won the first match 3-1. The second match is currently being played and Beşiktaş is the favorite. Necip was injured, I hope he does not have a serious health problem. Daniel Amartey joined the game instead of Necip. Daniel Amartey scored and Beşiktaş are now leading 1-0.

Adana Demirspor is currently in a 1-1 draw with Cluj. I hope Adana Demirspor will score a goal.

In the second leg, Beşiktaş will play in Tirana. Having won a comfortable 3-1 victory in the first match, Beşiktaş will win the match today as well. İddaa gave the odds of 1.34 to Beşiktaş's victory. Crypto betting sites should have given odds above 1.50. Looks like a good opportunity.

Injured players Rachid Ghezzal and Cenk Tosun will not be in this match, but they will start training next week.
Onur Bulut can start the game on the wing again. Of the new signings, only Amartey seems ready, he may take some time. Rebic will not play in this match.
I expect another good game and goals from Aboubakar and Muleka. I hope to watch a good match and see Beşiktaş win with plenty of goals.

Yes, they won that game, but they still conceded the decisive goal. Basel used to play really well. I remember their achievement last season, and in previous seasons they could also play not badly not only in the Conference League. But this season is over for them before it started.

I even had a bet placed on Basel to qualify as last year they were in quarter finals where Fiorentina eliminated them so I was expecting them to actually perform even better. Nevertheless , they won their game but failed to qualify and it's another year for them to try and improve but they also lost a few important players during the summer transfer window.

For me , I would be surprised if my national team Farul Constanta will be able to qualify as for now Urartu are playing a very offensive football and I wouldn't be surprised if they scored at least twice.

Basel made a lot of mistakes in the first match and those red cards in the first match costed them the next round. What an achievement for Tobol to qualify. I cant remember when was the last time Basel didnt play a group faze in europe. Really dissapointing start to the season.

Very interesting game between Tobol Kostanai and Basel. I did not expect that Basel loses on the sum of two matches. Frankly speaking, for the first time I've heard about Tobol. For Basel is certainly not all lost yet, less than 15 minutes left. But things are not going well for them so far.

Yeah, so many games. Last week I have done so many single not very big value bets on Conference league and it worked quite well. So, going to repeat something similar again. A bit lazy to write it all, will share fe. My main bet today is parlay of Spartak Trnava, Pogon and Mitjylland @2.48. There is quite many gameswith a bit too low odds to bet, so, probably worth to make few more parlays with heavy favorites

It was expected that Zimbru would not show much against Fenerbahce. This can be understood from the team value, but before looking at the team value of Fenerbahce, the quality of their squad is already one of the best in this league. I don't think there is a team that can cause problems for Fenerbahce until the quarterfinals. With the new signings, we can easily say that Fenerbahce will be the strongest team in the conference league. With the additions to this roster, we can also say that it will be the favorite in the cup. I don't think he will have problems in the groups. I don't expect a very difficult opponent to come. After Juventus' withdrawal, easier opponents will come as they will participate from the 1st bag.

Interesting numbers shared above on squad value -- the lowest tier of UEFA club football and already beating the budgets of about half the top-tier teams in any Big Four leagues... pretty dire future for those running on budgets.

Anyway, massive number of games today -- 44 of them, I can't remember the last time we had this number of games in the space of a few hours in a single competition!

P.S. Deleted a few low-value posts -- PM me if you've an issue, happy to explain why if OP isn;t clear enough. Quote walls particularly suggest a lack of effort.

without a doubt Fenerbahce had a convincing victory, in two legs they scored 9 goals and did not concede a single goal, but from what I could see, this zinbru team is not a very strong team and has a history of weak defense in my opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that Fenerbahce have shown they have a good attack, this new İsmail Kartal who is also Turkish is doing very well so far, next week the Turkish league games start so we'll see how he does playing in the Turkish league and having to get good results and at the same time playing in the conference league and having to get good results, it won't be an easy task, competing to become champions in the Turkish league and the conference league

mainly because galatasaray, which is its biggest rival, won today in the champions league game and went to another phase, this opens space for the two teams from turkey to be competing to see which one will reach further in the european competitions, i see Fenerbahce having more advantage , because in the conference league Fenerbahce has a good chance of going very far, even talking about being champions would not be an exaggeration

---

Tomorrow we will have more games, and the game I intend to follow will be Basel's game, it's unbelievable that Basel lost and conceded 3 goals in the first leg, although it managed to score 1 goal, it will be very difficult for Basel to score 3 goals in this match. game and don't suffer any game, so it's safe to say that baseeia will be eliminated, mainly because in addition to this goal disadvantage they still have the disadvantage of being away from home, I don't see them being able to reverse this result, unfortunately they will be eliminated

Didn't really expect anything else from them to be fair. Fenerbahce is a team that is worth give or take 200 million euro, and Zimbru is worth less than 3.5 million euros. That is a factor of 70 give or take, and that's what the situation for betting was as well. If Zimbru managed to somehow magically end up winning, that would have been the story for a year.

I think this part is just way too low for Fenerbahce, I would have put them at the group stages directly, because there is no team in all of this phase that could have been trouble for them, there is literally no drawing unlucky and all that, anyone could be picked and they would beat them, or at least they should. In any case, next round will be equally easy for them for sure.

Overall, I think there will be some good matches on Thursday.
First of all, Basel will face Tobol away. It is difficult but not impossible for Basel, who lost the first match 3-1 at home, to make the round. They will play a pressurized game from the first minute.
Azerbaijan's Neftchi Baku, on the other hand, will want to win at home to advance after a 2-2 draw away from home. I think Neftchi Baku will be the side to advance with the advantage of being at home.

I agree with you. A high squad value for early qualifiers. But it's a normal squad value for the group stage and beyond.

Fenerbahce won the first match 5-0 at home and won 4-0 away in the second match. What a great player Tadic and a great chance for Fenerbahce. He's very enjoyable to watch. Also İsmail Yüksek scored a awesome goal.

After playing a dominant game at home, I expected them to be less aggressive away from home and that's how the first half went. After a scoreless first half, Fenerbahce started the second half fast. After going 1-0 up with a goal from star player tadic, Fenerbahce took complete control of the game and had no trouble getting into positions and scored 4 goals in the second half.
As you said, in the BATE-Aris match, Aris, who won 6-2 at home in the first leg, seemed to be guaranteed to go through. While we expected Aris not to focus too much on the match, they managed to score 5 goals in the second match as well. In total 11 goals in 2 games is not what I expected from a team like Aris.

I think the result was much expected looking at how they dominated the whole.game in the first leg and even the scoreline would give you a hint on how the game is going to end.

The game that impressed and interested me most was the game between the Bosnia Herzegovina team (BATE) and cyprus team {aris} which pave way to whole seventeen goals of which 11  was scored by aris and 6 by bate.  After the first leg ended in a 6-2 victory for the Cyprus team,  I never expected much goals in this second leg but my prediction was all wrong.
