Team News

Besiktas
Gaziantep FK
  • Tayyip Sanuc and Emrecan Uzunhan are sidelined with long-term injuries.
  • As both Eric Bailly and Daniel Amartey are injured, Omar Colley and Necip Uysal will start at the back.
  • Mert Gunok is suspended, so Ersin Destanoglu will start in goal.
  • Salih Ucan has suffered a hamstring injury. The club are yet to make an announcement as to how long he will be sidelined.
  • Umut Meras and Tayfur Bingol, neither of whom were expected to start here, are alos injured.
  • Ilker Karakas and Albian Ajeti, neither of whom were expected to start here, are manager Marius Sumudica's only injury concerns.

Prediction

  • Besiktas were beaten 2-1 by Galatasaray last time out. The scoreline, however, is quite misleading as this was one of Besiktas's most embarrassing derby displays in recent history. The Black Eagles created less than a handful chances and despite defending very deep conceded more than two dozen. Just as their fans thought things couldn't get worse, Besiktas were beaten 3-1 by Bodo in UEFA Conference League match.
  • It is apparent that Yilmaz has no idea what he is doing and Besiktas will struggle against Sumudica's Gaziantep.
  • Gaziantepspor got a 1-0 victory over Antalyaspor last time out. This was yet another brilliant counter-attacking by Sumudica's team. They will defend very deep and in numbers here, and are certain to create quite a few chances with fast-breaks.
  • Had Besiktas not been in the biggest chaos of recent history, they'd be favorites at home. But, at this point, a draw here wouldn't count as a surprise.
