A raucous Istanbul crowd awaits a French side who have won just once in four this season, and our Besiktas vs Marseille predictions favour the hosts on a hostile European night.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Besiktas to win11/10 (bet365)Marseille have made a poor start, sitting 13th in Ligue 1 with just one win from four and six goals conceded, and they have often wobbled on hostile European away nights. Besiktas are backed by a fierce home crowd in Istanbul that regularly unsettles visitors, and the market rates them narrow favourites. At 11/10 the value sits with the hosts.
Geoffrey Kondogbia to be carded3/1 (bet365)This shapes as a fiery, physical European tie, and Kondogbia is a combative Marseille midfielder who racks up fouls in the engine room. In a hostile atmosphere against a lively Besiktas side, referees tend to reach for cards early. At 3/1 for the enforcer to be booked, the price looks big given his aggressive style and defensive role.

How Besiktas go into the game

Besiktas booked their league-phase place through qualifying, seeing off Kauno Zalgiris. The Tupras Stadium is a daunting place to visit.

Dangerous and roared on at home, Besiktas will fancy their chances of a winning start.

How Marseille go into the game

Marseille were beaten 1-0 at Rennes in Ligue 1 last time out, a frustrating away night. They travel to Istanbul needing a response.

Talented but inconsistent, Marseille carry a threat but face a hostile atmosphere.
