Besiktas vs Kasimpasa Prediction: The Black Eagles Territory Has Been The Foundation To Their Success This Season

Besiktas will welcome Kasimpasa to the Vodafone Park in the 19th round of the Turkish Super Lig.

With no win in four away matches, the Apaches will be out to reignite their confidence by getting back to the winning column in this one; however, their two wins in the last nine meetings against Besiktas suggest that this won't be an easy feat to achieve.

Besiktas

Form: WLLDW

Besiktas is enduring a forgettable season with challenges both on and off the field, which has seen five of their star players banished and find themselves lurking outside the top four in the standings. However, they did manage to close off 2023 on a positive note by securing a 2-1 win over Hatayspor away from home on December 25th, extending their unbeaten run on the road to three matches (W2 D1).

Before this win, the Black Eagles were on a three-match winless run in the league, recording two losses and a solitary draw, not to mention their 3-1 successive defeats against Fenerbahce and Alanyaspor, with both of those defeats coming at home. However, their performance at Vodafone Park continues to stand out positively, with five wins from their last eight matches and a solitary 1-1 draw against the newly promoted Pendikspor side. Therefore, there's no question they'll feel confident about returning to the path of victories.

With 29 points collected from 17 matches, Besiktas sit fifth in the Turkish Super Lig standings, level on points with fourth-placed Kayserispor and one point adrift of third-placed Trabzonspor.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Gunok; Bulut, Komec, Colley, Masuaku; Ucan, Hadziahmetovic, Rashica; Muleka, Tosun, Kilicsoy

Kasimpasa

Form: DDLWL

A bitter Christmas day fixture against Rizespor witnessed Kasimpasa surrender their lead twice, resulting in a nail-biting 2-2 draw at home, marking their second consecutive league stalemate.

Since a two-match winning streak across all competitions where they netted four goals, a 4-2 league win over Gaziantep and a 4-1 win against Kirsehir FK in the fourth round of the Turkish Cup, Kasimpasa is currently experiencing a streak of three matches without a win (D2 L1), and their away form doesn't inspire confidence as they are currently on a four-match winless run (L3 D1), making them likely to falter in this one in their bid to get back on track.

With 23 points accumulated from 17 matches, Kasimpasa sits ninth in the Turkish Super Lig standings, two points ahead of tenth-placed Sivasspor and six points afrift of a European football spot occupied by Kayserispor in fourth place.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Gianniotis; Winck, Omeruo, Ciftpinar, Ozcan; Gul, Kara; Fall, Hajradinovic, Ben Ouanes; Da Costa

Expert Betting Tips

Besiktas will be out to reignite their confidence at the Vodafone Park, where they are currently on a two-match losing streak, by securing a comfortable win in front of their home crowd. The Black Eagles have won eight of their last ten home matches in this fixture and should be able to see off a Kasimpasa side that has yet to impress with their travels on the road.

Taking into consideration that in fourteen out of their last seventeen meetings, both teams have scored, we expect this trend to persist. With Kasimpasa scoring in five of their eight away matches this season, there's no reason to doubt both sides finding the back of the net.
