Team News

Samsunspor
Besiktas
  • Emre Kilinc has suffered a broken jaw and will not be available until mid-October. Arbnor Muja is expected to start.
  • Yunus Cift, who wasn't expected to feature here, is suspended.
  • Emrecan Terzi, who wasn't expected to start here, is injured.
  • Amir Hadziahmetovic is still nursing an injury from last season.
  • Gedson Fernandes has suffered a sprained ankle and is doubtful here. Jean Onana will start if the Portuguese is not deemed fit.
  • Omar Colley is also doubtful so Tayyip Talha Sanuc might start at the back.
  • Gabriel Paulista, Rafa, and Ciro Immobile are poised to make their league debut here.
  • Fellow summer arrivals Emirhan Topcu and Can Keles are likely to start on the bench.

Prediction

  • After an amazing first season at the Super Lig, Samsunspor were shocked with the news of Gidsol's departure. The German was undoubtedly the architect of Samsun's surprising success and his replacement and compatriot Thomas Reis will be under a lot of pressure from the first week on. He has a difficult task at hand as Samsunspor have parted ways with quite a few players and have not brought in any reinforcements due to financial concerns.
  • Besiktas hired Giovanni von Bronckhorst and the Dutchman has already impressed the fans with a historic 5-0 victory over Galatasaray in the Super Cup. The Black Eagles have done very well in the transfer market bringing in the experienced Immobile and Rafa, young stars Keles and Topcu, and last season's loanees like Onana.
  • Besiktas will start the season with an away win.
