Turkey's Besiktas will take on Germany's RB Leipzig at home on Tuesday night in a UEFA Champions League Group G clash.
Undefeated in their last nine home games in Europe, the Black Eagles are looking to continue their positive start to the campaign.
Having defeated Porto 3-1 away in the first group match two weeks ago, Besiktas currently lead Group G. Monaco and RB Leipzig drew 1-1.
Besiktas will only miss Gokhan Gonul to injury before tonight’s game; there are no suspended players for the Istanbul side.
RB Leipzig, playing their first European away match, also brought a near-full team to Istanbul Vodafone Park, with Kevin Kampl the only injury doubt.
Besiktas will also look to end their poor record against German teams; having lost six and drawn one against German opposition.
The Istanbul side drew all three home matches in last season's Champions League group stage; tonight's match will be their first against German opposition since 2009.
