Inter Turku vs Başakşehir
📖 The Preview
So the first leg ended 1-1, which means everything is still up for grabs here. Inter Turku are at home, and that matters in a tie this tight. Their recent form shows a team that's been hard to beat, picking up points consistently over their last ten, and the home crowd should give them that extra edge when it counts. Başakşehir will nick one, keeping it nervy, but Turku's home advantage ultimately sees them over the line 2-1 and through on aggregate.
