WOL vs BES Dream11: Wolverhampton Wanderers play host to Besiktas in their final group game in the UEFA Europa League at Molineux Stadium. The English team sits 2nd in the group having already qualified to the knockout rounds. But the hosts will be looking to clinch the top spot, which is currently being occupied by Braga. Only one point separates these two sides and Nuno’s team could yet end as group winners considering that the Portuguese outfit is on the road for their last game against Slovan Bratislava.
Recent form:
Wolves are unbeaten in eight games in all competitions, with their last defeat coming against Aston Villa in the Carabao League Cup. Also, Wolves have drawn one and won three in four games in Europa League, and their sole defeat remains the 0-1 loss they suffered on matchday one against Braga.
Besiktas, on the other hand, arrive on a six-game winning run in all competitions. They are challenging for the Super Lig this season, and sit 2nd on the domestic league table.
