Match preview

The Europa League round of 16 is uncharted territory for Istanbul Basaksehir but they can show they deserve to be there by seeing off Celtic's conquerors Copenhagen in the Turkish capital.

Basaksehir lead the way in the Super Lig this season, having lost only three of their 25 league contests, and they have managed to juggle domestic duties with the Europa League, thumping Sporting Lisbon 4-1 at home to progress last time out.

With Demba Ba, Gael Clichy, Robinho and Gokhan Inler in their ranks, Basaksehir have plenty of European experience to call on and Copenhagen have looked unconvincing of late.

The Danes were dominated at Celtic Park, progressing thanks to 85th and 88th-minute strikes, and have lost their last two matches domestically without scoring.
