Latest team news for Lyon vs Besiktas
Lyon will have Duje Caleta-Car back after completing his suspension last weekend. The Croatian centre-back is expected to partner Moussa Niakhate. Clinton Mata, returning early from injury, could replace Ainsley Maitland-Niles at right-back more naturally.
Nemanja Matic is currently sidelined with a back injury, while Wilfried Zaha was excluded from Pierre Sage's squad due to disciplinary issues and missed the match against Nantes before the international break.
On Besiktas' side, winger Milot Rashica will be absent due to an injury sustained in Kosovo's win against Cyprus. Van Bronckhorst was delighted that Rafa Silva scored in the 2-0 victory over Konyaspor, ending a seven-match goalless streak.
Al Musrati has recovered and played in the last win, but Necip Uysal and Gabriel Paulista are still unavailable; Paulista suffered a thigh injury before the break. Goalkeeper Ersin Destanoglu made his debut in the defeat against Frankfurt but has not been included in any matchday squad due to a thigh injury.

Latest football match prediction: Lyon vs Besiktas
After a rocky start to the season, coach Pierre Sage's position at Lyon has seen a dramatic turnaround. From just one win in six matches, Lyon have now achieved a five-game winning streak, including a 4-0 victory against Le Havre. They are now just one point behind a Champions League spot, having previously been in the relegation zone.
Two Europa League victories acted as a catalyst for this success, with the first win against Olympiacos and then a 4-1 victory over Rangers, in which Alexandre Lacazette scored two goals, bringing his total Europa League goals to 24.
Lyon will be looking for their third consecutive win in this match, boasting an impressive record in the Europa League group stage where they lost only one of 26 matches and remained unbeaten in 13 home games. They also beat Besiktas in their only previous encounter in the 2016-17 UEL quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, Besiktas are struggling in the Europa League, sitting at the bottom of their group after a 4-0 defeat to Ajax and a disappointing draw with Eintracht Frankfurt. Despite a good domestic season with a 5-0 victory over Galatasaray, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's team has yet to find its form in European competition.
History is not on Besiktas' side, as they have lost four consecutive away matches in the Europa League, conceding 15 goals. Furthermore, they have lost four of their five trips to France.
