Crystal Palace travel to Beşiktaş in the Europa League after successive defeats by Lyon and Brighton. The Istanbul fixture brings together teams with contrasting European starts, although both lost their latest domestic matches.
Beşiktaş have six points from two wins and are fourth in the overall standings. Palace are 15th after one victory and one defeat.
Hosts build on European results
Vincenzo Italiano's side beat Marseille 4-1 at home and Hoffenheim 3-2 away, with Oh Hyeon-gyu's late double decisive in Germany. Their seven goals were the competition's highest total at that point.
A 2-0 domestic loss to Trabzonspor interrupted their broader run. They now return to Tupras, having won four consecutive European home matches according to the preview.
Milot Rashica is out with a hamstring injury and is not in the Europa League squad. Orkun Kökçü is recovering from a foot problem.
Palace seek defensive improvement
Pierre Sage's team lost 5-0 to Brighton after a 3-2 defeat at Lyon. They began the Europa League with a 4-0 win over Lech Poznań, but have conceded 17 goals in seven Premier League games.
Chadi Riad remains a long-term absentee. Dean Henderson, Ben Chilwell and Takehiro Tomiyasu require checks after missing Brighton, while Axel Disasi is eligible again following suspension.
The personnel information and recent results establish the pressures on each side. Neither a projected lineup nor the preview's assessment should be treated as a confirmed selection or a result already achieved.
