Team news

Yerson Mosquera and Daniel Podence were both sent off in the “training game” with Levante on Thursday morning but due to it being pre-season, will be allowed to feature as usual in this one.

Wolves somehow escaped from the game without any serious injuries but will be without Chiquinho who suffered an ACL injury just last week.

Saiss will likely suit up for Besiktas who are managed by former West Brom manager, Valerien Ismael.

Head-to-head record

You don’t have to go back too far to recall that Wolves have of course suited up against the Turkish giants before.

The two faced off in the 2019/20 Europa League with the black and gold running out winners in both legs.

Daniel Podence scored a hattrick in a 4-0 thrashing at Molineux whilst Willy Boly scored a 93rd minute winner in a 1-0 win over in Turkey.
