Team News

Besiktas
Trabzonspor
  • Amir Hadziahmetovic, recalled from load at Rizespor, is likely to deputise for the injured Gedson Fernandes.
  • Necip Uysal and Gabriel Paulista have been sidelined with long-term injuries and will not be available until March 2025.
  • Emrecan Terzi and Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov are also injured but neither were going to start here.
  • Rafa has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI.
  • Denis Dragus and Onuralp Cevikkan, neither of whom were expected to start here, are injured.
  • Batista Mendy and Eren Elmali have served their suspension and will return to the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Besiktas were 2-0 winners against Sivasspor last time out. Solskjaer was delighted with the result especially because his talisman Rafa was missing and his team managed to keep a clean sheet.
  • The arrival of Arroyo has delighted fans and fringe players like Oxlade-Chamberlain seem to be already improving under the Norwegian's management.
  • This is not going to be an easy game for the Black Eagles, however, they will certainly create quite a few chances from the transition play that Solskjaer favors.
  • Trabzonspor beat Eyupspor 1-0 last time out. Gunes continues to use Nwakaeme and Visca on the wings, which slows Trabzonspor's tempo.
  • However, their biggest problem so far has been defending against counter-attacking sides. They are likely to score here but that might not be enough for a point given their defensive woes.
