Besiktas vs Porto Preview – The Black Eagles are out to make history

Besiktas have the chance to make history tonight against Porto in the Champions League.

The Black Eagles will take on Porto at the Vodafone Arena and need just a point to finish Group G as leaders.

Besiktas will finish the group stage as leaders for the first time in history if they avoid defeat.

The reigning Super Lig champions have no missing players heading into the clash.

Head coach Senol Gunes rested Cenk Tosun, Ryan Babel and Oguzhan Ozyakup on the weekend. The Besiktas trio will be available and match fit.

Pepe has also returned from injury and is likely to start which will be a huge boost.

Porto will be no pushovers but Besiktas are worthy leaders in the group. With a full strength side and the 12th man behind them it would not be a surprise if the Black Eagles were to win.

Besiktas beat Porto 3-1 in Portugal and are the only unbeaten side in Group G. I expect the Eagles to remain unbeaten heading into Match Day 6.

Prediction: Besiktas Draw No Bet
