Vodafone Park will be packed Besiktas take on Olympique Marseille in one of the standout games of Europa League round 1. The Turkish side are enjoying a three-game winning run and have been scoring freely since strengthening their squad. Dusan Vlahovic returns from a domestic suspension, while Ernest Poku and Wilfried Ndidi are pushing for starting roles. Besiktas have won all five of their recent home matches, scoring 2.80 goals per game and conceding just 0.40, while their home xG stands at 2.19.
Marseille, meanwhile, are in desperate need of a response after losing their last three Ligue 1 games. They have struggled since the departure of key attacker Mason Greenwood and arrive with no points from their two away matches, scoring none and conceding 1.50 goals per game. Nnadi and Geoffrey Kondogbia are both sidelined through injury. OM's overall numbers remain dangerous, though, with 1.80 goals scored per game and an xG of 2.00.
Given the huge gap in form between the two sides, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside Besiktas Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Besiktas' attacking form should produce an entertaining game).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 17 September 2026 at 20:00.
