After dispatching defending champions Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Cup with a resounding 5-0 triumph, Besiktas managed to build up on that momentum in their league opener against Samsunspor, cruising to a comfortable 2-0 victory away from home.
Returning to Vodafone Park, the home support has every reason to be optimistic, with their side having avoided defeat in their last four home matches in the previous season, recording two wins and two draws.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Gunok; Svensson, Paulista, Colley, Masuaku; Fernandes, Elmsurati; Silicsoy, Rafa, Rashica; Immobile
Antalyaspor
Antalyaspor finished 10th in the previous season, which was an improvement from their 13th-place finish in 2022–23. In the league opener against newly promoted Goztepe, they found themselves sharing the spoils in a goalless draw at home.
Last season, they defeated Besiktas 2-1 away from home and will be hoping to replicate the same outcome. However, their performance on the road wasn't particularly convincing; besides concluding the season with a four-match winless run (L3, D1), they only managed four wins from 19 matches.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-5-1
Arican; Thalisson, Sari, Gerxhaliu, Vural; Dikmen, Rakip, Larsson, Van de Streek, Djenepo; Yesilyurt

Expert Betting Tips
While it's still too early to say Besiktas have shown signs of improvement under the management of Giovanni van Bronckhorst, there's also no denying that they have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with, recording four consecutive wins across all competitions.
Despite failing to win their last three home matches against Antalyaspor, we anticipate the Black Eagles to cruise to a comfortable victory here and halt that unfavorable run by supporting them in the full-time market combined with the total under 5.5 goals.
