Team News

Istanbul Basaksehir
Besiktas
  • Omer Ali Sahiner, who wasn't expected to start against Besiktas, is manager Emre Belozoglu's only injury concern.
  • Kenan Karaman, Mehmet Topal and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, none of whom were expected to start against Basaksehir, are sidelined with injury.
  • Miralem Pjanic is also injured and Salih Ucan will deputise for him.

Prediction

  • Basaksehir were beaten 3-1 by Karagumruk last time out. The defeat brought an end to the Kocaman era. Emre Belozoglu will be in charge for the rest of the season. Barring a brief caretaker role at Fenerbahce, Belozoglu has no experience coaching at this level. When in charge of Fenerbahce, he preferred possession football, but whether that will be viable option at Basaksehir remains to be seen.
  • Despite missing more than a handful key players, Besiktas managed to beat Sivasspor 2-1 last time out. They were clinical in attack and disciplined at the back. The majority of the injured players have returned to fitness and Yalcin will be able to field a very strong team here. Taking into consideration that they have a very important Champions League game coming up next week, Yalcin will want this done and dusted in the first half, so expect a very dominant and dynamic start by the Black Eagles.
