Beşiktaş host Crystal Palace on 22 October 2026 at 22:00 in the third round of the UEFA Europa League group stage at Türk Telekom Stadium in Istanbul. The Turkish side has started strongly with six points from six and sit fourth in the standings with a 7:3 goal difference. Palace arrive after a 5:0 hammering at Brighton in the Premier League, where they managed just one shot on target across the entire match.
Form and H2H
Beşiktaş have won eight consecutive home matches across all competitions this season. In Europe, they beat Hoffenheim 3:2 and demolished Marseille 4:1, though they lost 2:0 to Trabzonspor in the league despite 19 shots and 62% possession. In eight of their last ten home Europa League games, Beşiktaş have scored more than two goals.
Crystal Palace beat Lech 4:0 in their opening Europa League fixture but lost 3:2 to Lyon in round two. The Brighton result exposed serious defensive fragility. Palace have conceded in four consecutive matches and will travel without Chadi Riyad through injury, with Ben Chilwell, Dean Henderson, and Takehiro Tomiyasu all doubtful.
Best bet
Both teams to score. Beşiktaş regularly concede—opponents have scored in nine of their last ten matches across all competitions. Palace, despite recent struggles, find chances on the break and have scored in eight of their last ten games overall. The hosts' defensive lapses at home combined with Palace's attacking threat on the counter make both teams scoring the most likely outcome. Back Both teams to score at 1.50 with 1xBet.
