Istanbul Başakşehir will attempt to salvage their dismal Conference League campaign on Wednesday as they face winless Petrocub Hincesti at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium, according to Daily Sabah.

Both teams are rooted at the bottom of Group C, desperate to break their continental duck.

Once Süper Lig champions, the Turkish side has endured a season to forget both domestically and in Europe.

Çağdaş Atan's men have stumbled to eighth in the league with just three wins from 12 matches, six points off last season’s fourth-place finish.

In Europe, their plight is even grimmer.

The Grey Owls opened their Conference League account with back-to-back defeats to Rapid Vienna (2-1) and Celje (5-1) before a 2-2 draw against Copenhagen offered a glimmer of hope.

However, a crushing 3-0 league loss to Gaziantep over the weekend extended their winless streak to nine matches across all competitions, with goals proving elusive.

Başakşehir have failed to score in consecutive matches heading into Wednesday's clash, finding the net just twice during their barren nine-game spell.
