It is going to be very lovely for me to follow 3 Turkish teams in the Europa League this season. As far as I can see, Beşiktaş have the most difficult job on the first week. Playing away against Ajax... I mean Ajax have had really difficult days for a long time. However I really admired their effort in the last stage before the league one.
Fenerbahçe have a winner coach like Mourinho. I expect really good things from them just as I expect from Beşiktaş because of playing really impressive.
However as for Galatasaray, I don't know... If they play the same as the Young Boys matchup, I expect them to be the least successful one.
Well, for Fenerbahce against Saint Gilloise it is not easy considering that the team from Belgium is quite famous for its aggressive game and here if Fenerbahce does not win, it is likely that they will lose. For Besiktas, the chance of winning is quite small and on the contrary Ajax will be able to win without a draw. That's my opinion.
On the other hand, I am looking forward to the other matches Roma vs Bilbao and also Manchester United vs Twente, if Manchester United loses it will be very embarrassing.
