For the 3rd group, Asteras Tripolis welcomes Besiktas in a game where they want the victory to hope for qualification, while for the Turks, a draw is enough.
Asteras Tripolis, by entering the groups, makes a great effort to qualify for the next round. In all the games he has fought, except for the English where they lost in both games while he got a draw in Turkey where he could have lost 2-0 or 3-0 while he beat Partizan inside.
He has been playing for the championship since November 10, when he lost to Peristeri in Atromitos 4-3. From then on, there is inactivity, something that the Greek teams pay for the time being (yesterday Olympiakos, today I see PAOK having a hard time).
In these important absences of Batibanga and Role in the attack
Besiktas seems to have found a rhythm after the defeat in the derby with Fenerbahce, despite the defensive gaps it had in the league with Kasimpasa, they won with 2 goals by Deba Ba with the Senegalese striker in 15 games, having 12 goals in Greece and Europe.
In Europa he is doing very well, especially away from home. He beat Partizan 5-1, stayed at 1-1 with Tottenham while beating Partizan 2-1 at home. With a tie he locks the qualification.
In the games, the main goalkeeper Zengin has been absent for weeks, just like Shivok will be absent.
Asteras wants the victory and Besiktas is enough with the draw I do not think Asteras will risk from the beginning because he will have to find rhythm in the playing fields since he has been playing for weeks and the training sessions do not say anything, on the other hand Besiktas he knows that he passes with a draw and if he sees the opponent pushing he will chase from counterattacks, so I expect both teams to be careful and with the first half to be a draw.
