The shape of the $B_s^0\rightarrow D_s^{ *-}\mu^+\nu_{ \mu}$ differential decay rate is obtained as a function of the hadron recoil using proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 fb$^{ -1}$ collected by the LHCb detector. The $B_s^0\rightarrow D_s^{ *-}\mu^+\nu_{ \mu}$ decay is reconstructed through the decays $D_s^{ *-}\rightarrow D_s^{ -}\gamma$ and $D_s^{ -}\rightarrow K^-K^+\pi^-$. The differential decay rate is fitted with the Caprini-Lellouch-Neubert (CLN) and Boyd-Grinstein-Lebed (BGL) parametrisations of the form factors, and the relevant quantities for both are extracted.
