The UEFA Champions League Group C fixture, Borussia Dortmund vs. Beşiktaş J.K, kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Tuesday, December 7 at Signal Iduna Park. A French crew, led by François Letexier (FRA), will have the luxury of officiating this match. Included in the list is the VAR, Delajod Willy, also from France.

Beşiktaş is at the bottom of the table with no points, having lost all five UEFA Champions League matches, 0W, 0D, & 5L, - with the latest defeat, 2-1 to Ajax, coming on UCL Matchday 5. The Turkish outfit has picked up only one victory in five games across all competitions: WLLLD, ahead of this fixture against Borussia Dortmund. Back on Turkish soil, the club picked up a 1-1 draw against Kasımpaşa S.K. on Friday, in the Turkish Super Lig. With Beşiktaş already eliminated from the UEFA Champions League and a spot in the Europa League out of the question, the club may appear with several unfamiliar faces in the starting line-up for this game against Dortmund. Sergen Yalcin maintains a 56%-win rate with the club, having guided Beşiktaş to 46W, 13D, & 23L in 82 games. The 49-year-old could line up the 4—3—3 formation, which could see Michy Batshuayi at the top of the shape, shouldering the goal-scoring responsibilities. Beşiktaş could be without Alex Teixeira and Gökhan Töre.

The UEFA Champions League Group C fixture, Beşiktaş JK vs. AFC Ajax, kicks off at 18:45 (GMT+1) on UCL Matchday 5, Wednesday, November 24, at the Vodafone Arena. Referee Irfan Peljto (BIH) will be in charge for this game, with the help of the assistant referees, Senad Ibrisimbegović (BIH) and Davor Beljo (BIH). Marco Guida (ITA) will be the Video Assistant Referee. Following a 2-0 defeat to Ajax on UCL MD 2, Beşiktaş renews its rivalry with the Dutch club.

The Turkish side is back on European soil after the 2-0 defeat to Alanyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday, leaving them with their fourth defeat in five games across all competitions: LLLWL. Out of contention for a top-two finish, Beşiktaş must pick up a win against Ajax on Wednesday to vie for a place in the UEFA Europa League. The Turkish outfit picked up an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Sporting CP at the Estádio José Alvalade on UCL MD4. The defeat leaves the Black Eagles at the bottom of Group C, having no points but a massive G.D. of -10 after 0W, 0D, & 4L. A poor record in Europe leaves Beşiktaş with only one victory in their last eight games on home soil (1W, 1D, & 6L). Beşiktaş is one of the only two clubs yet to pick up a point in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season, along with the Swedish champions, Malmö FF, in Group H. Sergen Yalçin alternates between the 4—3—3 and the 4—1—4—1 formation and could use either on Wednesday. In either case, Kenan Karaman will be serving as the focal point in attack, with the availability of Michy Batshuayi shrouded in mystery. In addition, Josef de Souza is suspended for this fixture.

The UEFA Champions League Group C fixture, Sporting CP vs. Beşiktaş JK, kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Matchday 4, Wednesday, November 3, at the Estádio José Alvalade. Referee Sergei Karasev (RUS) will have the luxury of being in charge of this game, with help coming from Video Assistant Referee, Juan Martínez Munuera (ESP).

Beşiktaş returns to the table of champions after Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Hatayspor in the Turkish Super Lig, leaving the club with the form, WLLWL after five games across all competitions. In Group C, the Turkish outfit is at the bottom with no points after three games: 0W, 0D, & 3L. Only a win will be good enough to keep Besiktas’ chances of qualifying for the next round open. Sergen Yalçn will try to get his first three-point of the UCL campaign on Wednesday when he meets Sporting for the second time in this edition of the UEFA Champions League. A probable 4—2—3—1 formation with Michy Batshuayi leading the attack is expected from Yalçn. A win for Beşiktaş will put the club on the front foot before they take on Ajax on Matchday 5. On availability, Souza failed to feature in the weekend's defeat to Hatayspor, having been sidelined with a thigh injury. Meanwhile, Mehmet Topal made his comeback over the weekend, following a groin injury in the 3-2 win at Antalyaspor on 18th of September, this year.

The UEFA Champions League Group C fixture, Beşiktaş JK vs Sporting CP, kicks off at 17:45 (GMT+1) on Matchday 3, Tuesday, October 19 at the Vodafone Arena.

Beşiktaş returns to the table of champions after Friday’s 3-2 defeat to İstanbul Başakşehir F.K in the Turkish Super Lig. On UCL Matchday 2, Beşiktaş failed to pick up a point, following the 2-0 defeat to Ajax at the Amsterdam Arena. Abysmal in the final-third, the Turkish side had no shots on target in that game, leaving Berghuis (17’) and UCL Matchday 1 hero, Sébastien Haller (43’) to decide the outcome of the game. The defeat leaves the Turkish outfit with no points after two games: 0W, 0D, & 2L. Hitting the back of the net only once, Besiktas have conceded four times and have a G.D. of -3. Only a win would be good enough to keep Besiktas’ chances of qualifying for the next round open. However, the club has won only one of their last seven home European matches (1W, D1, & L5). In addition, the Turkish club has never won on home soil against Portuguese opposition in eight previous attempts. Beşiktaş have lost three in five games across all competitions: DLLWL. The Black Eagles are third in Group C, and Sergen Yalçn will try to get his first point of the UCL campaign on Tuesday. A probable 4—1—4—1 formation with Michy Batshuayi leading the attack is expected. A win for Beşiktaş will put the club on the front-foot before they visit Sporting CP at the Estádio José Alvalade on Nov. 3, UCL Matchday 4.

The UEFA Champions League Group C fixture, AFC Ajax vs. Beşiktaş JK, kicks off at 17:45 (GMT+1) on Matchday 2, Tuesday, September 28 at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Referee Benoît Bastien (FRA) will be in charge while Hicham Zakrani (FRA) and Aurélien Berthomieu (FRA) will be assisting. Delajod Willy (FRA) will be the Video Assistant Referee.

Beşiktaş picked up a 2-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund at the Vodafone Arena on UCL Matchday 1. Jude Bellingham (20') got the first goal of the game and became the youngest player to score in back-to-back UCL appearances. The Englishman went on to provide a fine assist for Erling Haaland (45+3') in Dortmund's second. Francisco Montero (90+4') got Beşiktaş' only goal. The loss leaves the Black Eagles in 3rd place in Group C, while having no points but a G.D. of -1 at the end of Matchday 1. Sergen Yalçın's probable 4--1--4--1 formation could see Michy Batshuayi leading the attack against Ajax. Beşiktaş have only two victories in their last eight fixtures against Dutch clubs. The numbers came when they faced Feyenoord in the 2014/15 edition of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round (2-1 A, 3-1 H). Looking ahead, Beşiktaş will host Sporting CP on UCL Matchday 3 at the Vodafone Arena.

The UEFA Champions League Group C fixture, Beşiktaş J.K. vs. Borussia Dortmund, kicks off at 17:45 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, September 15 at the Vodafone Arena. Antonio Mateu Lahoz (ESP) will be the referee for this game. He will be assisted by Pau Cebrián Devís (ESP) and Roberto del Palomar (ESP), while Juan Martínez Munuera (ESP) will be the VAR.

Michy Batshuayi (7’ & 52’) struck twice to help Beşiktaş to a 3-0 victory over Yeni Malatyaspor in Saturday’s Super Lig game. The Turkish side are at the top of the domestic standings and make their entry into the UEFA Champions League unbeaten in five games across all competitions: WDWWW. Beşiktaş J.K. shares Group C with Ajax, Sporting CP, and Borussia Dortmund. The club returns to the UEFA Champions League, having not featured in the tournament since the 2017/18 season. Wednesday’s clash will be the very first between both sides in more than three decades. A victory over Dortmund would place the Black Eagles in a promising position ahead of Matchday 2, Sept. 28, when they face Ajax at the Amsterdam Arena. Manager Sergen Yalcin named a 25-man UCL squad shortly after the transfer deadline-day, including Chelsea loanee Michy Batshuayi and Miralem Pjanic, who joined the Turkish outfit on a similar arrangement from Barcelona. Yalcin maintains a 65%-win rate with the club, having guided Beşiktaş to 43W, 11D & 12L in 66 games. On Wednesday, he will look to improve the numbers when he lines up the 4—2—3—1 formation, which could see Michy Batshuayi at the top of the shape, shouldering the goal-scoring responsibilities. Riddled with injuries, the club could be without as many as five players, with Alex Teixeira and Domagoj Vida on the injury list.
