Team News

Besiktas
Istanbul Basaksehir
  • Necip Uysal is expected to deputise for the injured Miralem Pjanic.
  • Both Domagoj Vida and Josef are nursing injuries and are in doubt for this game. If they are unable to feature, Francisco Montero and Atiba Hutchinson will start.
  • Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, Fehmi Mert Gunok and Oguzhan Ozyakup, none of whom were expected to start against Basaksehir, are all sidelined due to injury.
  • Mahmut Tekdemir has started training, but is unlikely to be match-fit in time. Berkay Ozcan is going to deputise.
  • Youssouf Ndayishimiye will be assessed prior to kick off. If deemed unfit, Alexandru Epureanu will start.

Prediction

  • Besiktas recorded an important away victory as they beat Sivasspor 3-2 last time out. Then they were eliminated from the Turkish Cup after a shocking 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Kayserispor. With no hope for any silverware left for this season, Besiktas will need to start planning the next. Morale is very low at the club and with their ongoing issues in front of goal, the Black Eagles are likely to be held to a draw here.
  • Bassksehir suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat at the hands of Karagumruk last time out. They were uncharacteristically wasteful with their chances in that game. Belozoglu knows that the hostile atmosphere can be a game-changer so he will be more cautious than usual. After all, a draw here wouldn't do any harm to his plans for a second place finish.
