Besiktas, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 away win over Konyaspor in their last league game, Besiktas will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 62% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Konyaspor who had 6 attempts and 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 9 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Beşiktaş Tüpraş Stadyumu.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 17 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Vincent Aboubakar has scored in each of Besiktas' last 3 league games.
Istanbulspor, Recent FormThe Istanbulspor players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Antalyaspor recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 4 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Antalyaspor's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Fatih Tekke where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. However, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 9 in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
Istanbulspor will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row no wins in 6 games.
Valon Ethemi has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Besiktas.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Istanbulspor, losing 3-1 to Besiktas.
The Boğalar defence has struggled against Besiktas in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 games.
İstanbulspor has a poor track record in the league when they visit Besiktas, losing in their last 2 games.
Besiktas manager Şenol Güneş has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Gedson Fernandes (Muscle), Ante Rebić (Muscle), Tayyib Sanuç (Cruciate ligament) and Emrecan Uzunhan (Personal reasons) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the İstanbulspor manager Fatih Tekke ahead of this clash, with Simon Deli (Foot) missing out, which gives Tekke a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
