Besiktas, Recent FormBeşiktaş will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their away outing against İstanbul Başakşehir. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to İstanbul Başakşehir who had 13 attempts and 2 on target.
Although they have only shipped 3 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 8 goals netted in those 6 matches. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Vodafone Park, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. A number of teams visiting Vodafone Park have struggled to break through on goal this season so far with the home side having kept 5 clean sheets.
They have been performing well at Vodafone Park recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
When home matches come round at Vodafone Park, Cenk Tosun will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Beşiktaş's last 6 home league matches.
Istanbulspor, Recent FormLast time out, İstanbulspor recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Sivasspor. They came away from that fixture with a 34% share of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Sivasspor, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Fatih Tekke will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 19 of their 23 league games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for İstanbulspor, Valon Ethemi will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
The Boğalar defence has struggled against Beşiktaş in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams have ended in a draw, but Beşiktaş may still feel they have the upper hand, given they have not lost any of their last 3 league encounters with İstanbulspor.
There is only really one injury concern for the Beşiktaş manager Şenol Güneş ahead of this clash, with Rachid Ghezzal (Muscle) missing out, which gives Güneş a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
İstanbulspor manager Fatih Tekke has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
