Last season, Besiktas finished only on sixth place and remained without playing on the international stage, and the way it started, the current one could be painful for the Turkish champion from 2021. In the first round, the Eagles only reached 1:0 against Kayserispor in the sixth minute of stoppage time, and in the second round, they dropped a three-goal advantage against Alanyaspor. They had 3:0 after half an hour, but in the end - 3:3. Karagumruk has played only one match so far and they lost at home 4:2 by Alanyaspor.

Besiktas wants to be back in the title race this season and they have some big names in the squad who must perform especially in matches where they are clear favorites. Since they don’t play in any European competition their focus is a hundred percent on the domestic championship. They are certainly disappointed with the draw against Alanyaspor in the last round, but a comfortable win here will heal all wounds.
Karagumruk will struggle to avoid relegation
As strange as was last season in Turkey's top-rank league, Karagumruk was one of the most pleasing surprises finishing on the 8th place at the end. This season they have played only one match so far against Alanyaspor and lost 4:2 at home. We haven’t seen much from them but from what we saw in the first match we can conclude that this team will have trouble to repeat what they did last season.
