The first of two encounters in the Europa Conference League 3rd Qualifying Round, as the hometeam Neftçi will try to edge Beşiktaş in their own ballpark.
These teams have little in common geographically as Beşiktaş have to travel 2200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
These are full days for the hometeam, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier League. That game was an away game at Kapaz, so at least Neftçi are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Neftçi form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Europa Conference League for Neftçi, as the manager Mutu led his troops to eliminate Zeljeznicar, and reach the 3rd Qualifying Round. Last season their Europa Conference League adventure ended in the 3rd qualifying round against Rapid Vienna.The regulars are hoping that Neftçi will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Kapaz.
Before that result, a home victory against Zeljeznicar in the Europa Conference League.
Beşiktaş form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Tirana in order to reach 3rd qualifying round of Europa Conference League.10-5-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Beşiktaş in their Super Lig matches away.
Two away games in a row for Beşiktaş, whose boss Güneş could celebrate last time after the Europa Conference League win against Tirana.
A home victory as anticipated against Tirana ahead of that, in the Europa Conference League.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Super Lig trip to Fatih Karagumruk.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Beşiktaş are regular goalscorers on their travels. As opposed to that, Beşiktaş have seen the ball go into their own net 21 times on the road.
