KuPS vs Bursaspor

Finnish team KuPS qualified to this round by eliminating Maccabi Netanya. In the first leg they managed to defeat Maccabi Netanya 1-2 at away but in the second leg they lost 0-1 and with the goal advantage they were the successful side. They play their matches in Savon Sanomat Areena which has the capacity of 4700 seats.

 

At Bursaspor side Svensson, Prince Tagoe and Stepanov left the club. They did not sign many players except Murat Yildirim and Ferhat Kiraz. They played friendly matches during the preparation period. These teams were CSKA and Lokomotiv Moscow. But due to the selection of young players in the squad by Ertugrul Saglam the coach of Bursaspor, I can not clearly mention much about the real football of the team. In CSKA match and in the first half, the squad was almost the ideal players and according to that condition I can say Bursaspor did not loose their strength comparing to last season. Bad news for the team is Sestak is suspended. Vederson is injured and Bangura is excused as he has serious family problems.

 

Despite the beginning of the season and Bursa did not play any formal match, I trust such important players like Ozan Ipek, Batalla, Pinto and Turgay. Bet on Bursapor.
