Besiktas

Form: DLLWD

Desite dominating proceedings against Istanbul Basaksehir, Besiktas fell short of coming away with all three points at the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium as they were held to a goalless draw. This comes after defeating Malmo 2-1 at home in the Europa League. 

The Black Eagles have failed to win their last three matches in the league, recording two losses and a solitary draw. This currently sees them perched in fifth place with 21 points on board, leaving them five points adrift of second-placed Fenerbahce. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Gunok; Svensson, Uduokhai, Gabriel, Masuaku; Elmusrati, Fernandes; Mario, Silva, Rashica; Kilicsoy

Goztepe

Form: WLWLW

Goztepe have been impressive this season for a team that was expected to struggle given their status as new boys. Before the international break, they managed to return to winning ways, beating Konyaspor 2-0 at home. This was consolation for their narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of Gaziantep beforehand. 

Stanimir Stoilov's men have won three of their last five league matches, which is noting but a testament to their unwavering consistency. With 18 points accumulated from 11 games, they find themselves in sixth place in the standings and are three points adrift of their opponents in this upcoming encounter. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-1-2

Lis; Bokele, Heliton, Altikardes; Bayrak, Ildiz, Solet, Silva; Tijanic; Fofana, Romulo

Expert Betting Tips

It is an undeniable fact that Besiktas have not been performing well in the league. But I don't think that will be enough to see them fall to their third defeat in four league matches. 

A look at their H2H meetings against Goztepe suggests that they'll come out on top, and that with a commanding victory. As such, I recommend supporting the home team in the full-time market combined with a total of over 1.5 goals.
