Beşiktaş will face French side Marseille at home in the first week of the UEFA Europa League. While the black-and-white team continues its preparations under the management of head coach Vincenzo Italiano, the tactical blueprint for the match has also been determined.
Europa League Excitement
The black-and-white team wants to carry the morale gained from three consecutive wins in the Trendyol Super League into the UEFA Europa League as well. Beşiktaş aims to leave this critical home fixture in the first week of the tournament with a victory.
Pressing Tactic Determined
Beşiktaş's biggest asset against Marseille will be constant pressure on the pitch. With fans showing great interest in the match and selling out tickets in advance, the stands are also preparing to apply pressure on the opponent throughout the game.
Opponent's Weaknesses Analyzed
Head Coach Vincenzo Italiano and his staff have analyzed Marseille in all aspects. It was determined that the French team suffered defeats against Monaco, Paris FC, and Rennes in their last three Ligue 1 matches.
The Italian coach identified that the opponent makes many mistakes in their midfield and defensive lines, and asked his players to focus on these weaknesses.
Squad Changes
Beşiktaş's most important attacking weapon in this match will be Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker, who could not play in the Erzurumspor match due to suspension, will return to the starting eleven for the UEFA Europa League test, while Hyeongyu Oh will be benched.
