AS Monaco – Besiktas
This match of the third round of the Champions League is much more important for the Monaco team, as they have won only one point so far and are in the last place of Group G, while Turkish Besiktas with a maximum of six points currently holds the leading position in the table . Otherwise, both last weekend suffered guest defeats in their championships, while it should be added that this is their first interaction in recent history.
AS Monaco
For the Monaco team, this match with Besiktas comes in a very awkward moment, since they fail to find the right form, and at the same time, due to the situation on the table, they are under the imperative victory. Namely, we already said that they had won only two points in the first two rounds of the Champions League, following a guest draw 1: 1 with Leipzig, and after that they were defeated by Porta 3-0, so now behind them have two points behind, and for the leading Besiktas even five.
It was just after this defeat from the Port that somehow somehow went bad for the Monaco team and in the home championship, because they were only removing Montpellier from home at home last weekend and losing 3: 2 at Lyon. However, they are still in the second position of Ligue 1, but now with even six points less than PSG, which is by no means good for their confidence before this tour with Besiktas, which should otherwise be missed only by suspended defender Sidiba and injured attacker Jovetic .
Besiktas
Unlike their opponents, the current Turkish champions are seeing this encounter with the third round of the Champions League much more relieved, since they recorded their victories in the first two appearances and are therefore well deserved at this point in the leadership position of group G. Of course, their visiting triumph of 3: 1 over Porto, and then on their field with routine 2: 0 celebrated over the debutant in this competition, German Leipzig.
On the other hand, in the Turkish championship, they have more and more problems, so they won only one point in the last three rounds, in a domestic tour with Trabzonspor, while they were defeated in Fenerbahce and Genclerbirligi. And all this led to their fall to the sixth place on the table, with as many as eight points behind the leading Galatasaray, but also only two less than the other Goztepe. Let’s say that this duel with Monaco will be missed by Nukan striker and attacker Tor because of injury, while Erkin is suspended.
AS Monaco – Besiktas TIP
For Monaco, the upcoming two duels with Besiktas are decisive when it comes to qualifying in the knockout phase, so we expect from the current French champions on Tuesday evening to show themselves in the best possible edition and eventually reach their first win in the group stage.
