Marseille kick off their 2026-27 Europa League campaign at Tupras Stadium on September 17 when they travel to Beşiktaş.

Offensively Strong Beşiktaş Chasing Fourth Straight Win

Vincenzo Italiano has overseen an excellent start to the season at Beşiktaş, with the Turkish club winning their last three fixtures.

Offensively, they have been very reliable over that period, scoring eleven goals and netting at least three in their last two at home. Leandro Trossard has been in excellent form since joining from Arsenal, registering goal involvements in his last two starts.

Oh Hyeon-gyu has only scored once in his previous six appearances. The Turkish hosts will be without the injured Ridvan Yilmaz this week.

Beşiktaş predicted lineup vs Marseille (4-1-4-1): Nubel; Murillo, Topcu, Agbadou, Ouattara; Ozcan; Cerny, Olaitan, Kokcu, Trossard; Hyeon-gyu

Marseille Stuck in Losing Run

It has been a disappointing run of form for Bruno Génésio’s Marseille. The French club have fallen to defeat in their previous three fixtures, and they have scored just once over the same period. Marseille’s defensive record is also worrying, as they have allowed six goals during their losing run.

Creating chances for Amine Gouiri will be crucial to their chances, as the striker has scored four in as many appearances.

Nayef Aguerd could be fit enough to start this week, which would enable physical midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia to push into a more advanced role. Tochukwe Nnadi and Faris Moumbagna are unavailable due to injury this week.

Marseille predicted lineup vs Beşiktaş (4-1-2-3): de Lange; Weah, Egan-Riley, Aguerd, Emerson; Kondogbia; Gomes, Abdelli; Harit, Gouri, Paixao

A home win makes plenty of value appeal this week. Beşiktaş have won their last four in front of their own fans, scoring at least three in three straight encounters at Tupras Stadium.

Marseille’s indifferent form is also hard to ignore, as the French club have fallen to defeats in three straight fixtures, and they have failed to score in two encounters over that period.
