Beşiktaş will host Olympique de Marseille at Tüpraş Stadium at 22:00 on September 17 in the opening week of the Europa League, marking their 265th match in European cups. Whether captain Orkun Kökçü, sidelined with a toe injury, will play will be decided on match day.
French side's coach Bruno Genesio described Beşiktaş as one of the best teams in the tournament and said the atmosphere in 2017 was 'among the best he has seen in Europe'. Marseille have suffered three consecutive league defeats. The black-and-white team will play their 265th match in European competitions.
