Prediction

  • Besiktas suffered a major upset as they were kept to a 1-1 draw by Pendikspor last time out. The Black Eagles were 1-0 up by 12th minute and should have increased their pressure, find the second goal and put the game to bed. But instead, they played a slow tempo game, allowed Pendikspor to stay in the match and paid for it in the end. With the newest arrivals that has added massive strength to this squad, Gunes no longer has any excuses for dropping points in games such as these.
  • Sivasspor shared points with Antalyaspor in a 1-1 draw last time out. This was a match between two very balanced sides whose aim was to avoid defeat at all costs. Cetin will deploy similar tactics here and will try to frustrate Besiktas but defending deep, in numbers, and aggressively.
  • Besiktas will have learnt their lesson and are favorites to enter the international break with a win.
