Team News

Besiktas
Fatih Karagumruk
  • Cenk Tosun, Oguzhan Ozyakup, and Ajdin Hasic are sidelined with long-term injuries and will not feature for the rest of the season.
  • Dorukhan Tokoz is expected to deputise for the suspended Atiba Hutchinson.
  • Georges-Kevin Nkoudou will be assessed prior to kick-off. He is likely to start but if deemed unfit Gokhan Tore will deputise.
  • Bernard Mensah, who wasn't expected to start against Karagumruk, is sidelined with injury.
  • Alparslan Erdem and Aykut Ozer, neither of whom were expected to start against Besiktas, are sidelined with injury.
  • Jeremain Lens is expected to deputise for the injured Jimmy Durmaz.

Prediction

  • Besiktas were beaten 3-1 by Galatasaray last time out. This was the worst Besiktas we have seen under Yalcin, as the Black Eagles struggled creating any decent chances throughout the entire 90 minutes. The main reason behind this lacklustre display was the injuries to key attacking personnel, especially N'Koudou. Besiktas need four points from their last two outings to clinch the title. If N'Koudou indeed returns, as he is expected to, they will get three of those here.
  • Karagumruk beat Genclerbirligi 5-1 last time out. Notwithstanding the lack of quality in their opponents, Farioli's team's performance was quite impressive. The young Italian manager deserves all the credit he is given, as his side continues to play positive, attacking football. They will not change their style here so we can expect to see an exciting game with quite a few chances for both sides.
