Team News

Besiktas
Antalyaspor
  • 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.
  • Al Musrati had to be subbed off with an injury against Gaziantep last time out. He will be assessed and if deemed unfit Daniel Amartey will likely start in midfield as Salih Ucan is also injured.
  • Joe Worrall and Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov are expected to deputise for the suspended Necip Uysal and Arthur Masuaku respectively.
  • Tayfur Bingol, who wasn't expected to start here, is also on the injury list. Rachid Ghezzal, another non-starter, is suspended.
  • Omar Colley has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI.
  • Erdogan Yesilyurt will start at left back as Guray Vural is injured.

Prediction

  • Besiktas suffered a humiliating 2-0 defeat at the hands of Gaziantepspor last time out. Once again, it was Santos's strange squad decisions and more importantly ultra-conservative approach that drew the attention of pundits. The Portuguese is without a doubt the most disappointing manager to have taken the helm in the Black Eagles in recent years. Until the end of this season, it will not be team displays but individual talents stepping up the plate that will bring victories to Besiktas.
  • Antalyaspor were beaten 1-0 by Basaksehir last time out. They defended well and were undone by a late, late goal. Antalyaspor's problem in recent weeks has been going forward and that is why Yalcin's decision to start Safuri, their player with most assists, on the bench continues to baffle everyone. Expect another solid defensive performance against a Besiktas side that looks as hapless going forward.
  • Yalcin is a Besiktas fan-favorite and his return here, where he won the title a few years ago, will be emotional. He is very likely to get at least a point and add to Besiktas's woes.
