The reverse fixture between Besiktas and Napoli was the first time the teams have met in European competition and Besiktas came away with the win.
Group B is one of tightest groups in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League. As things stand, Napoli sit top of the group, with 6 points, Besiktas are 1 point further back in second place and Benfica are third, with 4 points. Dynamo Kiev are the one team who are struggling and with an away match to Benfica coming up, could find themselves out of contention after this round of games.
So far in their campaign, Besiktas have performed very well on the road, holding Benfica to a 1-1 draw and defeating Napoli 3-2, in Naples. The only concern will be their home match against Dynamo Kiev. Which finished in a 1-1 draw. If Besiktas are to make it out of this group, they must start winning their home matches. As for Napoli, things were going very well, with maximum points from their two games, until the shock home defeat to Besiktas, which saw them remain on 6 points.

- Winner
- Result and Both Teams to Score
- Talisca to Score Anytime
Hard to Split the Teams
Besiktas won the first encounter between the teams in Naples but does that automatically mean they are going to take maximum points in this game. The Turkish team are unbeaten in their last fifteen games at home in all competitions but struggled to overcome Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League. Napoli on the other hand, defeated Dynamo Kiev away from home in this group and have a decent away record this season.
Game Tip: Draw is 3.4 at Bet365
0-0 Out of the Question
If there is one thing we have learned from Besiktas and Napoli this season, it’s that defending is not their strong point. Both teams have conceded goals in each of their three matches in Group B, with Besiktas conceding 4 and Napoli conceding 6. However, they have also been scoring plenty of goals, with Napoli scoring 8 and Besiktas finding the back of the net 5 times, with at least 1 goal coming in each game.

Talisca on Form
Anderson Talisca is in an interesting position in this group, having joined Besiktas on loan from Benfica. When the teams met in Lisbon, it was Talisca who struck for Besiktas, earning them a point. The attacking midfielder has also been on the score sheet in domestic action recently, netting 3 goals in his last two matches.
