Team News

Besiktas
RBL
  • Adriano is a doubt for the home side, while Gokhan Gonul is ruled out once more.
  • Gary Medel should continue at right-back in what could be an unchnaged XI from the heated 2-1 loss to Fenerbahce on Saturday.
  • Naby Keita missed the weekend 2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt due to suspension, but should start in midfield here.
  • Kevin Kampl is a doubt for the away side and will be assessed closer to kick off.
  • Jean-Kevin Augustin is expected to partner Timo Werner in attack.

Prediction

  • Besiktas were reeling left from the 2-1 defeat to Fenerbahce on Saturday, but will look to maintain their flying start to their Champions League campaign with the welcome of RB Leipzig. The Super Lig champions secured a 3-1 win over FC Porto in gameweek one and, back on home turf, will be confident of putting another three points on the board.
  • RB Leipzig were held to a 1-1 draw with Monaco on their Champions League debut and face a baptism of fire when they travel to Turkey on Tuesday night. Victory over Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend was their first win in four and they'll look to use this as a foundation to build upon.
  • Besiktas will be fatigued after a tough meeting with Fenerbahce, but should have enough about them to hold RB Leizpig to a draw here.
