Player to Watch: Krzysztof Piątek (Istanbul Basaksehir)
Krzysztof Piątek remains Basaksehir's biggest attacking threat and will be expected to lead the line in this crucial European qualifier. His movement inside the penalty area and clinical finishing make him a constant danger against any defence.
With Basaksehir expected to dominate possession and create plenty of chances at home, Piątek's ability to convert opportunities could prove decisive. An early goal from the Polish striker would put the Turkish side firmly in control of the tie.
