Team News

Besiktas
Rizespor
  • Salih Ucan is expected to deputise for the suspended Al Musrati.
  • Amir Hadziahmetovic will be out of contention for the remainder of the season.
  • Ege Tiknaz, Ante Rebic, Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov, and Emrecan Terzi, none of whom were expected to start here, are all injured.
  • Jonas Svensson has served his suspension and will start here.
  • Janne-Pekka Laine, Mithat Pala, and Benhur Keser, none of whom were expected to start here, are injured.

Prediction

  • Besiktas were beaten 2-1 by Fenerbahce last time out. Considering they played 75 minutes with 10 men, this was not the worst result the Black Eagles could have gotten. They will want to raise the morale before the Turkish Cup semi final return leg, and Topraktepe could not have hoped for a better opponent than Rizespor, whose only away victory in their last 6 outings was against the relegated Istanbulspor.
  • Rizespor were held to a 2-2 draw by Ankaragucu last time out. Although the equaliser came late, Ankaragucu were the superior side on the day and could have easily won the game. Palut's team has been a shadow of themselves in the last two weeks, possibly due to fatigue and it is difficult to see how they can put a stop to their abysmal away form here.
