Besiktas
Veli Kavlak, Caner Erkin, Anderson Talisca and Araz Ozbiliz will miss this match due to injury. Necip Uysal is still doubtful after suffering a back problem.
Benfica
Andre Horta and Lubomir Fejsa are all doubts. As a result, Pizzi and Andreas Samaris could start at the midfield. Eliseu is expected to start in place of Alejandro Grimaldo while Jonas’ return to training could also earn him a starting berth.
Match forecast
Both Benfica, Napoli and Besiktas are separated by a point in this group. The three teams are all fighting to win the group, and we should expect a thrilling tie here. Besiktas got a point in the first leg of this fixture away from home and will be looking to secure all the three points at home.
But they now face a side that has lost only once in all competitions this season, which was a 4-2 away loss to Napoli. Nevertheless, considering their impressive form at home, you can back the hosts to bag all the three points in this tie.
