Team News

Istanbulspor
Besiktas
  • Racine Coly is likely to feature as a make-shift center back as Simon Deli is suspended.
  • Florian Loshaj and Okan Erdogan have served their suspension and will return to the starting XI.
  • 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.
  • Emrecan Uzunhan is training with the team but lacks match fitness.
  • Tayfur Bingol, who wasn't expected start here, is the latest addition to the injury list.

Prediction

  • Istanbulspor managed to keep Antalyaspor to a 2-2 draw last time out. Despite falling 2-0 down they didn't give up and took advantage of their host's complacency. However, that result should not be seen as a sign of things improving for the Istanbul club. They are still struggling at the back and will find it immensely hard to contain the likes of Kilicsoy and Rashica here.
  • Besiktas were 2-0 winners against Konyaspor last time out. Their defending has improved massively in recent weeks although the fans are still displeased with how little the team offers going forward when compared to their arch-rivals and title contenders Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. They will control the game here and are likely to cruise to comfortable victory.
