Team news, stats and prediction as Wolves host Besiktas in the Europa League.

Team news

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo will make wholesale changes to his team having already qualified for the round of 32 but Morgan Gibbs-White is unavailable due to a back injury.

Romain Saiss has served his one-match European ban and could retain his spot in the starting line-up, while academy pair Max Kilman and Dion Sanderson are both vying for starts.

Besiktas are also expected to rest key players with their focus now on winning the Turkish Super Lig. On-loan ​Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny may be rested but ​Loris Karius could still start in goal.

Former Sunderland winger Jeremain Lens did not feature against Slovan Bratislava in the previous group fixture but is in line for a run out.

State of play

Wolves have already qualified for the last 32 and will clinch first place if they win and Braga do not. If both teams win, Braga will go through as Group K winners as they have a superior head-to-head record. Besiktas can no longer qualify.

Opta stats

• Wolves won the reverse fixture against Besiktas 1-0 in Turkey, failing to register a single shot in the first half and eventually winning through a 90th minute Willy Boly strike.
• Besiktas have won just two of their nine away games against English sides in all competitions (D1 L6), beating Chelsea 2-0 in October 2003 and Manchester United 1-0 in November 2009 (both Champions League).
• Wolves are unbeaten in their last four Europa League games (W3 D1), however they did surrender a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 against Braga in their most recent outing in the competition.
• Besiktas ended a five-game losing run in the Europa League with a 2-1 victory against Slovan Bratislava last time out - they haven't won back-to-back games in the Europa League in the same season since February 2017 (3-1 and 2-1 v Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Last 32 of the competition).
• Raul Jimenez has been directly involved in each of Wolves' last five goals in the Europa League, netting three himself and assisting each of their last two.

Charlie Nicholas' prediction

I think it is 11 unbeaten in the Premier League now, and they have put themselves in a lovely place, both in the Premier League and Europa League, so they are embracing it and understanding it now.

Besiktas used to be one of these awkward sides, but they have dropped a level or two in previous seasons. They will park the bus and Wolves struggle with this, but I only see a home win despite that.
