Beşiktaş JK hosts Olympique Marseille in Istanbul in a Europa League clash between two teams entering the game in very different situations. The Turkish side is riding a strong run after beating Fenerbahçe in the derby and cruising past Erzurumspor FK, while the French club is looking to turn around a difficult start to the season.

The Vodafone Arena in Istanbul will host the European showdown, with Beşiktaş looking to carry its strong domestic form into continental competition.

Marseille, meanwhile, has won only one of its opening four Ligue 1 matches and also has another major test ahead, with a weekend clash against reigning champion Paris Saint-Germain.

Beşiktaş enters the Europa League clash in strong form

The Istanbul club heads into the European match boosted by its recent results.

Beşiktaş first secured an important 2-1 victory over Fenerbahçe in the derby before following it up with an emphatic win over Erzurumspor FK.

It will now look to maintain that momentum against Marseille in front of its home supporters.

How does Olympique Marseille enter the match?

The French side arrives in a different situation.

Marseille has won only one of its first four Ligue 1 matches, making the Europa League clash an opportunity to build momentum before returning to domestic action.

There will be little time to recover, however, with Marseille set to face PSG in Ligue 1 over the weekend.
