Besiktas are seeking to go back to joint top when they play host to Denizlispor in the 26th round of the Turkish Super Lig. It is tight at the top, with Besiktas second on 51 points while Denizlispor are 19th with 21 points. Besiktas carry a four-game unbeaten run going to this game and their loss to Trabzonspor at the end of January is their only one in 16 matches. They have 12 wins in the 16 matches but going to this clash they have just two clean sheets in the last five. Besiktas have scored in each of their last 23 matches and coming from a 3-0 win, over Genclebirligi, they will be fired up for this one. After playing two straight away games, they return home, where they have 11 wins in their last 12 matches. They have two straight clean sheets in the league, and are unbeaten in the last three. Playing at home, in the last 10 league matches, Besiktas have nine wins and a loss. Vincent Aboubacar and Cyle Larin are the team’s key men, with 12 goals each ahead of this round of matches. The hosts will be confident, as well, having gone unbeaten in their last 14 matches against Denizlispor, with 11 straight wins.

Denizlispor also beat Genclebirligi in their last game - that ended 1-0. The last time Denizlispor claimed a win over Besiktas was way back in 2004. They go to this game having avoided defeat just once in their last 14 meetings with Besiktas, a 1-1 draw. The win over Genclebirligi saw Denizlispor rise from the bottom of the league and they will hope for three more points, to move them to a point below the safety zone. To achieve this they’ll need to score, which has not been their best front. Denizlispor have failed to score in two of the last five matches and are winless in the last five away matches. They’ve conceded 12 goals in their last five league matches, and scored four.
