Team News

Istanbul Basaksehir
Besiktas
  • Manager Cagdas Atan has a full squad available to pick from.
  • Semih Kilicsoy will lead the attack in Ciro Immobile's absence.
  • Necip Uysal is sidelined with a long-term injury and will not be available until March 2025.
  • Emirhan Topcu, who wasn't expected to start here, is suspended.

Prediction

  • Basaksehir were beaten 3-2 by Konyaspor last time out. Then they managed to hold FC Copenhagen to a 2-2 draw in the midweek Conference League tie. Atan's team have not won in their last four outings in the Super Lig. They will defend deep and in numbers and lower the tempo to ensure the likes of Rafa do not have any space to exploit in the final third.
  • Besiktas suffered a humiliating 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Kasimpasa last time out. They were outplayed by their opponents and looked out of ideas going forward, and weak at the back. The 2-1 victory against Malmö in the midweek Europa League tie, however, boasted morale at the club. This is a team with plenty of new players, and they still need some time to gel. Immobile's absence is of course a blow but Kilicsoy showed against Malmö that he can be trusted to lead the attack in the Italian's absence.
