The hosts find themselves languishing at the bottom of the group without a single point from their four matches. They welcome the already qualified group leaders Ajax to the Vodafone Stadium in Istanbul. The home team must resign themselves to another season of being knocked out in the group stages. Their poor form is also evident in the Turkish league where they have lost their last four matches. They come into this match on the back of a 2-0 away defeat to Alanyaspor in their domestic league. Besiktas have struggled to find the net in their four group games, scoring just two goals at an average of 0.5 goals per match. They have conceded 12 goals in their group games at an average of 3 goals per match. The home team lost the first round fixture 2-0 away to Ajax. Their home form has been just as poor with just two wins in their last six matches.

Dutch champions Ajax have already qualified for the knockout stages with two matches still to play. They will almost certainly be crowned group winners unless something extraordinary occurs. They have won their all four of their matches with their goal difference miles better than the next best team. Their away record is among the best in Europe having gone 22 games without a defeat across all competitions. They have scored 14 goals in their four group matches at an average of 3.5 goals per match while only conceding two. Ajax have only lost one match in their last seventeen and that was a home league defeat to Utrecht.
