  • 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.
  • Tayfur Bingol and Salih Ucan, niether of whom were expected to start here, are also on the injury list.
  • Daniel Amartey is expected to start at the back as Omar Colley is suspended.
  • Gedson Fernandes has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Gaziantep were beaten 1-0 by Antalyaspor last time out. Sumudica was unceremoniously sacked after the game. Whether caretaker manager Gencturk has the ability to save this team from relegation remains to be seen. However, we can expect to see a similar, conservative approach from him in his first game in charge.
  • Besiktas were 1-0 losers against Galatasaray last time out. They conceded in the opening minute of the game and did close to nothing to equalize. Santos's only concern seems to be to improve this team's defensive capabilities. This is the most subdued, dull, uninspiring Besiktas side of late, and things are not likely to change until the end of the season.
  • Besiktas will start this as conservatively as their hosts. If the likes of Muci and Kilicsoy find some space to display their talents they might win the game for Santos.
