The starting lineups for the Bodo/Glimt-Beşiktaş match have been announced.

Beşiktaş will be the guest of Bodo/Glimt in Norway in the 6th week of the UEFA Europa League. The match at Aspmyra Stadium will start at 23:00 TRT time and will be broadcasted on TRT 1. The match will be officiated by Slovak referee Filip Glova.

STATUS OF THE TWO TEAMS

Beşiktaş, who ended their 5-match winless streak by winning the Fenerbahçe derby 1-0, lost last week in the UEFA Europa League. The black-and-white team, which lost 3-1 to Maccabi Tel Aviv in Hungary, will gain an advantage to finish in the top 24 teams in the league and qualify for the playoff stage if they earn points in Norway. Beşiktaş, who has 2 wins and 3 losses in the last 5 weeks in Europe, is currently in 22nd place with 6 points. Bodo/Glimt, with 7 points, is in 17th place with 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw.

STARTING 11s

Bodo/Glimt: Haikin, Sjovold, Bjortuft, Bjorkan, Evjen, Berg, Saltnes, Zinckernagel, Hauge, Hogh

Beşiktaş: Ersin, Svensson, Tayyip Talha, Emirhan, Zaynutdinov, Ndour, Al-Musrati, Rafa, Gedson, Onur, Semih.

DEFENSE COLLAPSED IN EAGLES

The absence of players in defense before the critical match is striking for Beşiktaş. Gabriel Paulista and Felix Uduokhai, who are undergoing treatment, will not be able to play. The yellow card penalty also hit the defense hard. Arthur Masuaku, who received a yellow card in the match against Maccabi Tel Aviv and is now suspended, will also miss the match in Norway. Another name added to the injury list in Beşiktaş is Ciro Immobile. The star player, who was injured in the final moments of the derby, will also be unable to play in Norway.

CHAMBERLAIN NOT ON THE LIST

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who brought 3 points to Beşiktaş in the derby, will not be able to participate in the match as his name is not on the UEFA list. Chamberlain, who was on the transfer list at the beginning of the season, remained in the team after the transfer did not happen. The experienced midfielder, who was never given a chance by former coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst, started to play under the management of Serdar Topraktepe after the coaching change and became one of the architects of the victory against Fenerbahçe in his second match.

250TH MEETING IN EUROPE

Beşiktaş, who will face the Norwegian team Bodo/Glimt in the 6th week of the Europa League, will play their 250th match in Europe. The black-and-white football team has experienced 94 wins, 49 draws, and 106 losses in the 249 matches they have played in European cups. Beşiktaş has scored 333 goals in Europe and conceded 380 goals.

13TH MATCH AGAINST NORWEGIAN TEAMS

Beşiktaş has faced Norwegian representatives 12 times. The black-and-white team has competed against Norwegian teams Rosenborg, Valerenga, Tromso, Sarpsborg, and Bodo/Glimt in European cups. In these matches played in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Europa Conference League, Beşiktaş has 5 wins, 5 losses, and 2 draws. The black-and-whites have scored 19 goals in these matches and conceded 19 goals as well.

5TH MEETING WITH BODO

The black-and-white team will face Bodo/Glimt for the 5th time. Beşiktaş previously faced the Norwegian team 4 times, first meeting in the 1st round of the then UEFA Cup in 2004, where the away match ended in a 1-1 draw. Beşiktaş won the return match in Istanbul 1-0, successfully qualifying for the group stage. The two teams were in the same group in the UEFA Conference League last season, and Bodo/Glimt emerged victorious in both matches held in Norway and Turkey. The yellow-blacks won their home match 3-1 and also triumphed 2-1 in Istanbul.
