Team News

Besiktas
Adana Demirspor
  • Omar Colley and Daniel Amartey have been included in the Gambia and Ghana squads for the AFCON 2023. Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov and Tayyip Sanuc are expected to start at centre-back.
  • As Arthur Masuaku is at AFCON 2023 with DR Congo Umut Meras will start at left-back.
  • Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has suffered a torn thigh muscle and is not expected to feature for the remainder of the season. Amir Hadziahmetovic has also suffered an injury that will keep him out of contention for the remainder of the season so, Ege Tiknaz will start in midfield.
  • Salih Ucan is nursing an hamstring injury and was not included in the squad that faced Pendikspor. He will be assessed and if deemed unfit, Necip Uysal will deputise.
  • Emrecan Uzunhan is training with the team but lacks match fitness.
  • Vincent Aboubakar, who had been banished to the reserves, is with the Cameroon national team for the AFCON 2023.
  • Mario Balotelli is sidelined with a long-term knee injury.
  • Dorukhan Tokoz will start at right-back as Ismail Cokcalis is also injured.
  • Ertac Ozbir, Vedat Karakus, and Yusuf Sari, neither of whom were expected to start here, are also injured.

Prediction

  • Besiktas suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the hands of Pendikspor last time out. They conceded a very early goal following an amateurish mistake in midfield, created and missed quite a few chances in the first half, and were totally undone in the second 45 minutes. This is the most inconsistent Besiktas side we have seen in recent years and it is difficult to foresee how they will perform at any game. However, the Big Three are traditionally known to record impressive wins right after humiliating defeats.
  • Adana Demirspor shared points with Ankaragucu in a 1-1 draw last time out. This was Karaman's first game in charge and draw was a fair result. Karaman is known as a no-nonsense, disciplined manager and it will be interesting to see how he gets along with some of his new players, who are known for their lax approach to the game.
  • Knowing Besiktas will want to make up for that humiliating defeat and attack the game from the get-go, Karaman will set his defence very deep.
