Monaco has conclusively lost the game in the second round of the group stage. It was 3-0 for Porto, in a match played on Stade Louis II. Last year’s semi-finalist has five points less than the team against which he will play on Tuesday night. Besiktas beat 3-1 in the match with Porto and 2-0 against Leipzig. Not as well he went to Besiktas in the domestic competition. The Turkish team took only one point of the last three matches played in the Super League. In each of the three matches, Besiktas received three goals.

On his own home, Monaco won three consecutive matches against the teams in Turkey. Most recently, he defeated Fenerbahce in last season’s Champions League qualifiers. Radamel Falcao enrolled in that match, which was the start of a dream journey, to the penultimate phase of the competition.

Besiktas had no good experience on the Ligue 1 team. Seven out of eight matches played in France ended with defeats and the other with an equal result.

Falcao is in excellent shape for the home team. The Colombian striker scored 14 goals in 15 matches for the club and national this season. In Ligue 1 he scored 12 times in eight games. He did not manage to score in the most recent match lost to Monaco in Lyon.
