Besiktas

Giovanni van Bronckhorst is the wizard behind Besiktas' success this season, lifting the Black Eagles to heights they couldn't have imagined. On Thursday, a barrage of goals witnessed the Black Eagles thrash Lugano 5-1 at the Vodafone Park in the second leg of the Europa League playoffs, and a commanding 8-4 aggregate success ultimately guaranteed them a spot in the group stages.

No complaints from their home faithful are to be heard, especially when it comes to their performance in the domestic competitions, which has been nothing short of impressive. The Black Eagles have won their last three competitive matches in a row, which includes a win over last season's champions Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Cup. Their latest league match was a decisive 4-2 home triumph over Antalyaspor. 

With 6 points accumulated from 2 matches, Besiktas occupies third place in the Turkish Super Lig standings. They are level on points with fourth-placed Galatasaray and are four points adrift of first-placed Fenerbahce. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Gunok; Svensson, Gabriel, Topcu, Masuaku; Ndour, Al-Msurati; Rashica, Fernandes, Rafa; Immobile

Sivasspor

Bülent Uygun is a man on a mission this season; his goal is not complicated, just to lead his boyhood club to greener pastures after failing to secure European football last season, finishing seventh with 54 points, seven points adrift of a Europa Conference League qualifier spot.

The Braves made a positive start holding Trabzonspor to a goalless draw at home before dispatching Kayserispor in a 2-1 triumph on the road despite being at a numerical disadvantage with sixteen minutes left on the clock. However, their two-match unbeaten run in the league came crashing down as they lost 1-0 at home to new boys Eyuspor over the weekend.

With 4 points accumulated from three matches, Sivasspor occupies sixth place in the Turkish Super Lig standings. They are level on points with three other teams and have maintained a three-point cushion over the relegation zone.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Vural; Paluli, Basyigit, Radakovic, Ciftci; Bieganski, Charisis; Pritchard, Turgunboev, Bassan; Manaj

Expert Betting Tips

Besiktas have undeniably set a strong tone for their campaign. The Black Eagles are currently on a two-match winning streak bouncing back from a three-match winless run (D2, L1) and will be eager to make the most of their home advantage and extend their winning run in the league. 

Sivasspor are aware that they face a daunting task at the Vodafone Park despite having started their own momentum, which sees them without defeat in the last two league matches (W1, D1). Their dire away form in this fixture could be a contributing factor in them dropping points after losing four consecutive matches. 

Therefore, support the home side in the full-time market combined with a total of over 1.5 goals, which should suffice.

• W1 & TO 1.5 for 1.69
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.93
• Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.66
