Besiktas v Galatasaray - Super Lig — Besiktas take on Tirana in the Conference League qualifiers on Thursday.

Besiktas take a trip to the Air Albania Stadium to face KF Tirana in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round on Thursday (August 3).

Tirana’s dreams of securing European football took a huge blow last Thursday as they fell to a 3-1 defeat to Besiktas. Before that, Orges Shehi’s men scraped through the first qualifying round with a 3-2 aggregate win over Dinamo Batumi.

While Tirana will look to mount a comeback, they have struggled at home, where they're on a run of one win in six games.

Meanwhile, Besiktas have gone 19 games without defeat since a 1-0 loss to Sivasspor on February 4. Senol Gunes’ side reached the Conference League qualifiers after finishing third in the Turkish Super Lig last season with 78 points from 36 games.

Besiktas kick off their top-flight campaign on August 13 with a visit to the Ataturk Olympic Stadium to face Fatih Karagumruk.
