Basaksehir
Iberia 1999 will look to claim a major scalp in the Conference League third qualifying round when they face Istanbul Basaksehir in the double-header. Iberia 1999 are seen as big underdogs in this two-legged tie, but, one thing is for sure, the Georgians are going to leave their hearts on the field in the first leg. Gizo Mamageishvili is one yellow card away from suspension, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Turks, on the other hand, aim to get their job done in the first leg and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Iberia. As Cagdas Atan’s troops were scoring goals for fun against La Florita, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. It has to be noted that the two sides have never met before in European competitions. Key Basaksehir attacker Krzysztof Piatek should keep his place up front after scoring a brace in the 4-0 crushing of La Florita.
Highlighted Team (Basaksehir):
Istanbul Basaksehir are one of the youngest clubs in Turkey. Founded in 1990, Istanbul Basaksehir play their home games at Fatih Terim Stadium, the venue that was opened in 2014. The Turkish club club have yet to win the national championship, but they did well to finish the 2016/2017 Super Lig campaign in second place in the standings.
As a result, Istanbul Basaksehir booked their place in the Champions League qualifiers and thanks to a win over Club Brugge in the two-legged tie the capital club set up a meeting with La Liga side Sevilla in the play-offs. Despite producing fine performances in the double-header against the star-studded Spanish side Istanbul Basaksehir eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages.
Nonetheless, the club will represent Turkey in the group stages of the Europa League in the 2017/2018 season. It has to be noted that the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Eljero Elia, Emre Belozoglu and Gael Clichy played for Istanbul Basaksehir in the 2017/2018 Champions League qualifiers.
