Besiktas host Crystal Palace in the Europa League at Tupras Stadyumu in Istanbul, with Vincenzo Italiano's side looking to build on their continental campaign in front of a passionate home crowd.
Besiktas arrive at this fixture in mixed domestic form, having lost their most recent Super Lig match 2-0 to Trabzonspor. Their Europa League record, however, tells a more encouraging story, with a 4-1 win over Marseille and a 2-3 victory at Hoffenheim demonstrating their capacity to compete at this level.
Crystal Palace make the trip to Istanbul under Pierre Sage having endured a punishing week. A 5-0 Premier League defeat to Brighton was followed by a 3-2 Europa League loss to Lyon, leaving the Eagles in need of a response on the road.
Palace's position in the Europa League standings adds urgency to this fixture. A positive result in Istanbul would do much to steady their continental campaign after back-to-back defeats across all competitions.
Besiktas sit fourth in the Europa League table while Crystal Palace are placed fifteenth, giving the hosts a meaningful positional advantage heading into this match.

Form

They have shown quality in European competition, beating Marseille 4-1 and winning 2-3 at Hoffenheim in the Europa League, though domestic losses to Amed Sportif and Trabzonspor reflect inconsistency at home and away.
Crystal Palace have gone W1-D1-L3 across their last five matches. Their most recent fixture was a 3-2 Europa League defeat to Lyon, which followed a heavy 5-0 Premier League loss to Brighton. Palace's sole win in the run came in the Premier League, a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest, while they drew 0-0 with Leeds United. Across the five matches, Palace conceded ten goals, pointing to defensive vulnerabilities heading into this contest.
