Beşiktaş and Hradec Králové meet again in the UEFA Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round on Thursday, 13 August 2026, with kick-off at 17:00 UTC at Besiktas Park. The Turkish side hold the advantage heading into the second leg after the first meeting on 6 August ended 1-0 in their favour.

Beşiktaş arrive in strong form, having won three consecutive matches. Across their last five results they have taken 10 points, a run that includes victories over Hradec Králové and FC Midtjylland either side of a draw and a defeat against Lausanne.

Hradec Králové, meanwhile, head to Istanbul having taken 6 points from their last three matches. Before the first leg defeat, the Czech side recorded back-to-back wins against Tromso, suggesting they enter this tie with some momentum of their own despite the scoreline from last week.

The head-to-head record between the two clubs stands at one match played, with Beşiktaş winning 1-0 in the first leg on 6 August 2026. That result shapes the stakes clearly as both sides prepare for 90 minutes at Besiktas Park, with the UEFA Europa League 3rd Qualifying Round tie on the line.
