Match Facts

  • FC Twente have never kept a clean sheet against Turkish opposition before (W3 D1 L5), with this their first ever meeting with Besiktas.

  • Besiktas have lost five of their six away games against Dutch sides in all competitions, with the exception being a 2-1 win at Feyenoord in 2014-15 UEFA Champions League qualifying.

  • FC Twente have lost their last two home UEFA Europa League games, and are winless in six (D3 L3) since winning five in a row in 2011-12. They last lost three home major European games in a row between 1993 and 1997 in the UEFA Cup.

  • A win for Besiktas here will see them progress from the group/league phase of a major European competition for the first time since the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League. They last did so in the UEFA Europa League in 2014-15.

  • With two goals and three assists in this season’s UEFA Europa League, Rafa’s five goal involvements are the most by a Besiktas player in a single major European competition season since Cenk Tosun in the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League (6 – 4 goals, 2 assists).
