Team News

Besiktas
Kayserispor
  • Despite registering an assist, Ciro Immobile had an awful day in front of goal against Eyupspor last time out and was subbed out at half time. He was not included in the squad that faced Antalyaspor in the midweek cup tie. However, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to give the Italian another chance here.
  • Necip Uysal has been sidelined with a long-term injury and will not be available until April.
  • Emrecan Terzi and Ernest Muci are also injured but neither were going to start here.
  • Dimitrios Kolovetsios will start at centre-back as Julian Jeanvier is injured.
  • Anthony Uzodimma, Arif Kocaman, and Eray Ozbek, none of whom were expected to start here, are also injured.
  • Although Mehdi Bourabia impressed in the win against Goztepe last time out, manager Sergej Jakirovic is expected to use Yaw Ackah here as his defensive skills will be needed against Besiktas's midfied.

Prediction

  • Besiktas were 3-1 winners against Eyupspor last time out. They conceded very early but immediately took control of the game and fully deserved to win. Then they beat Antalyaspor in the midweek cup tie and advanced to the last 16. The have won three in a row and haven't lost in their last eight. Barring Immobile, Solskjaer has managed to raise the performance levels of every single player. The Black Eagles are favourites here.
  • Kayserispor managed to beat Goztepe 1-0 last time out. They conceded quite a few chances but their guests had an off day in front of goal. Like his counterpart, Jakirovic has made a great impact since his arrival and Kayserispor have not lost in their last four games. However, this will be the Bosnian's most serious and difficult test.
