Team News

Besiktas
Pendikspor
  • Tayyip Sanuc and Emrecan Uzunhan are sidelined with long-term injuries.
  • Latest arrivals Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain and Milot Rashica are not expected to feature here.
  • Manager Osman Ozkoylu has a full squad available to pick from.

Prediction

  • Besiktas opened their season with a 1-0 win over Kasimpasa. They struggled creating clear chances against a team that defended very deep and in numbers. Tosun's return to fitness and Rashica's arrival will help them in that department in the future. Also, with Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gunes now has one of the strongest midfields in the Super Lig. The Black Eagles have an important Conference League playoff game against Dinamo Kyiv coming up, so they will want to put this one to bed as early as possible.
  • Pendikspor were demolished 5-1 by Hatayspor last time out. Neither Ozkoylu nor his players looked ready for the intensity of Super Lig. Having a relatively older defensive lineup means Ozkoylu's team will defend very deep against teams boasting pace and talent in attack. Whether that strategy will do them any good is an entirely different matter of course.
