Besiktas

Form: DLLLW

Besiktas blew up a one-goal lead against Istanbul Basaksehir to be held to a 1-1 draw on the road. Omar Colley gave his side a crucial lead in the opening sixteen minutes of the first half, and despite a solid defense, they were pegged back by Emirhan İlkhan's equalizer in the dying embers of the game. 

In light of this result, the Black Eagles have gone four league matches without a victory (L3, D1) and enter this match aiming to return to the winning column, a feat that seems achievable against a side that has also been struggling lately for favorable results.

With 47 points accumulated from 31 matches, Besiktas still find themselves in fourth place in the Turkish Super Lig standings, where they've maintained a one-point cushion over fifth-placed Kasimpasa. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Gunok; Svensson, Colley, Worrall, Terzi; Fernandes, Amartey; Rashica, Muci, Kilicsoy; Tosun

Samsunspor

Form: DLWLW

Samsunspor, on the other hand, also settled for a share of the spoils in their match against Pendikspor, as they played out a goalless draw at home.

In light of this result, Samsunspor have won just two of their last six matches in the league (D2, L2) and enter this match aiming to return to winning ways against a side they've defeated once in their last eight matches (D1, L6).

With 37 points accumulated from 31 matches, Samsunspor occupies the twelfth spot in the Turkish Super Lig and is six points clear of the drop zone. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Kocuk; Yavru, Van Drongelen, Ozturk, Gonul; Bennasser, Antalyali; Holse, Ntcham, Dimatta; Raman

Besiktas has undeniably struggled with inconsistency recently. Nevertheless, they now have a chance to bounce back and change their fortunes as they face Samsunspor, a team they have historically dominated. With the home advantage on their side, nothing less than a convincing victory will be expected from them.

Considering that Samsunspor have struggled on the road this season with just one victory in their last fifteen matches, while not mentioning the fact that they are currently on a seven-match winless run (L4, D3), this makes Besiktas a safe pick in the full-time market to grab all three points in front of their fans.
