Team News

Besiktas
Samsunspor
  • Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov is expected to deputise for the injured Tayyip Talha Sanuc.
  • Necip Uysal and Gabriel Paulista have been sidelined with long-term injuries and will not be available until March 2025.
  • Emrecan Terzi is also injured but he wasn't going to start here.
  • Jonas Svensson has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI.
  • Nanu is set to deputise for the suspended Zeki Yavru.

Prediction

  • Besiktas were 2-1 winners against Bodrumspor last time out. Once again, Topraktepe's team were far from being impressive despite getting all three points. Quite a few managers have rejected the club's offer and the board is struggling more than expected to find their new coach. Against a Samsun side that has been very impressive going forward, the Black Eagles will struggle.
  • Samsunspor beat Kayserispor 1-0 last time out. Defensively they were perfect and going forward, they did as much as they needed to and got all three points. Knowing how Besiktas' defence struggles defending counter-attacks and pacy wingers, Reis will use Schindler and Kilinc to create chances here.
  • Besiktas are no longer the tour de force it used to be at home. A draw is very likely here.
