The Red and Whites face the Black Eagles in a must-win game at the Vodafone Arena and the 22-year-old doesn’t expect an easy game in Turkey

Monaco's forward Keita Balde is anticipating a difficult contest when his side square off against Besiktas in Wednesday’s Uefa Champions League encounter.

The French Champions head into game bottom of the Group G log with just one point from three games played so far. And nothing but a win will keep them in contention for a place in the next round of Europe’s elite club competition.

“We expect a stage boiling with a lot of pressure but we have to be focused 100% and give the max,” Keita said during the pre-match press conference.
