What TV channel is Besiktas vs St Patrick's Athletic on? Stream, kick-off time and odds as Saints chase miracle
The odds reflect how the Dublin outfit are facing into a Mission Impossible scenario STRUGGLING SAINTS What TV channel is Besiktas vs St Patrick's Athletic on? Stream, kick-off time and odds as Saints chase miracle ST PATRICK'S ATHLETIC will look to restore some pride in the second leg of their Europa Conference League third-round qualifier. The Saints were 4-0 by half-time of last week's home leg before salvaging things slightly with the full-time result being 4-1. Here's everything you need to know around how to catch tonight's encounter: WHAT STREAM IS BESIKTAS VS ST PATRICK'S ATHLETIC ON? Frustratingly, it doesn't seem to be available to watch anywhere either on television or through a streaming website. Tonight's LOITV offering is understandably from Tallaght Stadium as Shamrock Rovers' tie with Ballkani is far more up for grabs. And even the usual reliable of SolidSport doesn't appear to have it listed among tonight's offerings. Kick-off from the Turkish giants' stadium in Istanbul will be at 7pm Irish time. WHAT ARE THE ODDS? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men are 1/14 to win on the night while Stephen's Kenny side are rank outsiders at 15/1. The two teams to finish level after 90 minutes is priced at 8/1. WHAT'S BEEN SAID IN THE BUILD-UP? Barry Baggley knows the tie may be beyond the Saints — but tonight's game is not. He acknowledged that winning by three goals to force extra-time is not likely and knows all the Saints can do is try and get a result. The midfielder said: 'We spoke about it on Tuesday night. We said we want to get a good result, no matter what the overall outcome is. 'I don't think he understood football' - Wayne Rooney hits back at 'unfair' Tom Brady comments questioning work ethic "If we're being honest, I don't think anyone thinks we're going to score three goals away to Besiktas. 'We're going to go out and try and win the game. We are going to go there and not let them have it their own way. 'Stop them from scoring any more goals and see if we can catch them on the counter-attack.' But he knows doing that against this side — who are under pressure having been beaten by Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League — will be tough. 1 Stephen Kenny's charges couldn't cope with the likes of Tammy Abraham who bagged a hat-trick Belfast lad Baggley continued: 'They were a step above what we've played. We knew it was going to be a tough game and that's what happened. 'I have played against France and Spain internationally with the Northern Ireland Under-21s but they are right up there as the best I have played against. 'When you go up that level, the touch is quicker, the physicality, they are just bigger and stronger and faster than what we are used to. 'That's what makes them such good players and that's why they are at this level.'

St Patrick's Athletic ace issues rallying cry for second leg while admitting Besiktas tie is likely beyond them
TIE TOTAL St Patrick's Athletic ace issues rallying cry for second leg while admitting Besiktas tie is likely beyond them BARRY BAGGLEY knows the tie may be beyond St Patrick's Athletic — but tonight's game against Besiktas is not. The Saints are in Istanbul to face the Turkish giants trailing 4-1 from last week's home leg at Tallaght Stadium. Baggley acknowledged that winning by three goals to force extra-time is not likely and knows all the Saints can do is try and get a result. The midfielder said: 'We spoke about it on Tuesday night. We said we want to get a good result, no matter what the overall outcome is. "If we're being honest, I don't think anyone thinks we're going to score three goals away to Besiktas. 'We're going to go out and try and win the game. We are going to go there and not let them have it their own way.

'When you go up that level, the touch is quicker, the physicality, they are just bigger and stronger and faster than what we are used to. 'That's what makes them such good players and that's why they are at this level.' Chelsea legend John Terry gives up dream of becoming a manager The Saints recovered from a horror first half last week when they conceded four goals by holding the Turks scoreless in the second half. And they pulled a goal back through winger Simon Power. Baggley believes that shows what can be achieved and added: 'As you saw in the second half, we defended well, have pace up top and can score. 'We'll go in with a good attitude. We're going to try and keep it a lot tighter and make it difficult for them. 'Hopefully we'll get a few chances ourselves.'
