We are 23rd favourites implying nip and tuck (if we get last Aberdeen). Looking at their players though, and being in Europe every year, I see them as being strong favourites to beat us. That Bosnian winger makes Lennon look slow :shock:. Turan is one of Barca’s best players, he’s only been shipped out because he is a nutter. Adebayor has been on fire. The keeper is good too.

In fairness though, OK we are unlucky (but lucky to have a cracker of a tie at the Turf before we bow out, which we will at some point). Basaksehir though are more unlucky - they get a seeded side at each stage, and last year in the CL they got Sevilla in the qualifiers and bowed out (despite hitting the post in the last minute that would have seen them through).
Its ok. Turan has nothing like the pedigree westwood and cork do even though he has played for barcelona.
