Team News

Besiktas
Fenerbahce
  • Tayyip Talha Sanuc will deputise for the injured Felix Uduokhai.
  • Gabriel Paulista has suffered a tendon rupture, which will keep him out of contention until March 2025.
  • Necip Uysal is sidelined with a long-term injury and will not be available until March 2025.
  • Alex Oxlade Chamberlain might get a start here as in the 15 minutes he played against Hatayspor last time out, he looked better and fitter than all other Besiktas wingers combined.
  • Jayden Oosterwolde has suffered a cruciate ligament tear and will not be able to feature for the remainder of the season.
  • Caglar Soyuncu has suffered a knee injury that will keep him out of contention until 2025.

Prediction

  • Besiktas were held to a 1-1 draw by Hatayspor last time out. This was caretaker manager Topraktepe's first game in charge as Giovanni van Bronckhorst was sacked prior to the game. The club in in disarray at the moment with the president also resigning and calling for early elections later this month. This game will be marked by endless protests by the Black Eagles fans and it is doubtful whether the players are also fully concentrated on the pitch at the moment.
  • Fenerbahce were 3-1 winners against Gaziantep last time out. Although their guests gave them a scare and kept the game at 1-1 until the last 15 minutes, Mourinho made the best of the bench he has at his disposal and two goals in quick succession brought them the win. Against a Besiktas side whose defending has been nothing short of shambolic recently, the Canaries will create quite a few chances.
  • Although derbies are often difficult to predict, it will be miraculous if Besiktas get anything out of this.
