Have Liverpool Already Sealed the Premier League?

Both teams, who have been tipped by the media as favorites for the knockout phases of the tournament, couldn’t manage a win on the first game-week.

Wolves fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Braga while complacency crept in elsewhere in Slovakia. Besiktas allowed in two last gasp goals to lose 4-2 against lowly Slovan Bratislava. However, they will both have a shot at redemption when they lock horns at Vodafone Park.

Besiktas vs Wolves Team News

This hasn’t been such a fairytale of a season for Wolves as the last, given their struggles to rack up points in all competitions. A win from their last half-a-dozen outings must have forced manager Nuno Espirito back to the drawing board.

The West Midlands outfit were so rampant last season, that they salvaged wins against the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United. The same cannot be said of the current campaign. Could it be a matter of the whole team flattering to deceive? Time will tell.

However, things have been looking up for the Wanderers in recently weeks with their 95^thleveler against Crystal Palace sending the whole crowd to ecstasy. A hard-fought 2-0 win against Watford last Saturday followed the thriller at the Molineux Stadium, sending Wolves out of the relegation zone.

On the other hand, Besiktas have also endured a difficult start to their league campaign, sitting in the drop zone of the Turkish topflight. However, a three home game unbeaten streak in all competitions, must have boosted their morale heading into this game.

Both teams have been on a good run lately, setting the perfect pace and tempo for this game. This match could not have come at a better time, to be honest.

Even though both teams have struggled to find the net this season, we should expect a thrilling encounter at Vodafone Park. The game should be a low-scoring game or even goalless as both teams will be too cautious to go all out for a goal considering what is at stake.
