İstanbul Başakşehir welcomed Olympiakos Piraeus in the Balkan derby of the third qualifying round of the Champions League. The first match between the two teams is on Wednesday night with a starting time of 16:45 at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu in İstanbul.
The hosts have become a leading team in Turkey, but so far they have failed to boast of European success as their city rivals. With the teams of Galatasaray and Fenerbahce already established names in Europe, Başakşehir has something to showcase in the Champions League this season to compete with the big Turkish grands.

There are many cool players in the team such as Demba Ba, Robinho, Mevlüt Erdinç, Gökhan Inler and Gaël Clichy. Team manager Okan Buruk has a lot of depth in his squad, which is well-prepared to handle Olympiakos.
