Besiktas take on the visitors Monaco at “Vodafone Arena” in the matchday four of the UEFA Champions League Group stage. The game will be played in Istanbul on Wednesday, November 1st.
Besiktas have not been beaten across three latest encounters of the season, having defeated Monaco 2:1 in the UEFA Champions League earlier. In the Turkish Super Lig Besiktas recorded 1:1 draw against Basaksehir and 2:1 triumph over Alanyaspor. After 10 clashes played, “Kara Kartallar” sit on the third place in the Turkish elite division standings with 18 points gained. Besiktas are the only Turkish club which shows good results in the Eurocups in this season. After the first lap of the UEFA Champions League Group stage the team has earned maximal nine points with 7-2 goal difference which allowed the side to occupy the first position in Group G and at least a place in the UEFA Europa League Play Offs guaranteed. In this season “Kara Kartallar” haven’t lost any match at their own turf, having gained four victories and two draws in six home clashes.

In their turn, after 1:2 loss to Besiktas in the UEFA Champions League, Monaco won two games in the French Ligue 1, having beaten Caen and Bordeaux with the same 2:0 scoreline. With 11 rounds behind in Ligue 1, “Les Monegasques” settle on the second position in the table with 25 points taken and 28-12 goal difference, being four points behind the leading Paris SG. As for the UEFA Champions League, the last season’s semi-finalist and the main sensation is about to fail in this season. Monaco managed to pick up only one single point with two goals for and six goals against in three encounters played, sitting on the last position in Group G with no right for a defeat left in the rest of the matches at this stage. Leonardo Jardim’s side gained four victories, single draw and two losses in seven away battles of this season.
Two weeks ago Besiktas earned 2:1 triumph in an equal fight in France. I believe that the team will again choose attacking football in the Wednesday clash with the same amount of the goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
