The 2-1 away defeat to Fenerbahce will not have sat easily with the Besiktas squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  They achieved 34% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Fenerbahce's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.  

Manager Fernando Santos will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.

Caykur Rizespor manager İlhan Palut will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Ankaragucu.  In that game they recorded 31 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 8 of their 21 shots on goal.  

While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.  

They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.  

On an individual basis, Ibrahim Olawoyin will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Caykur Rizespor's last 6 league games.
