Crystal Palace are aiming to bounce back from a Premier League defeat as they travel to Besiktas on Thursday, October 22, in the UEFA Europa League.
The Eagles lost their last game 5-0 to Brighton, putting pressure on manager Pierre Sage. Now they are up against a Besiktas team who have won their first two Europa League games, including a 3-2 win over Hoffenheim. The Turkish hosts will try to take advantage of their home field at Tupras Stadium.
Besiktas predicted lineup: Nubel; Murillo, Agbadou, Topcu, Yılmaz; Ozcan, Ndidi, Olaitan; Fakılı, Vlahovic, Trossard.
Crystal Palace predicted lineup: Benitez; Canvot, Disasi, Richards; Khalaili, Wharton, Kamada, Mitchell; Sarr, Pino; Strand Larsen.
Besiktas are likely to be without Milot Rashica, who is hampered by a hamstring injury, though Orkun Kokcu has recovered from fatigue and is available. Dusan Vlahović may be the one to lead the attack when he recovers from illness.
Chadi Riad is still sidelined with a knee injury. Dean Henderson, Ben Chilwell, and Takehiro Tomiyasu have also been mentioned as having fitness issues, and their availability will be subject to the latest evaluations.
The Europa League game will be played in Istanbul at Tupras Stadium on Thursday, October 22.
Availability of broadcast may be subject to package and territory. Look for local listings before the game.
