Besiktas can move a step closer to the Turkish Super Lig title this weekend when they play away at Galatasaray. They lead the standings with 81 points, six above their third placed hosts with three matches to play. Galatasaray kept their slim title hopes alive with a 2-0 win over Genclebirligi, their third straight win in the league and sixth unbeaten outing. They are on a good run coming to this game and failed to score in just one of the last seven matches, while they have three straight clean sheets. It is however not as smooth at home; they have one clean sheet and one win in the last five home matches in the league. It will be even harder hosting Besiktas, a side they have beaten just once in the last five meetings.

Besiktas have beaten Galatasaray three times in the last five meetings, keeping four clean sheets in the five matches. They need five more points to win the title and can make a big statement with a win here. Just like Galatasaray, they have three straight wins but they have a longer unbeaten run, of seven matches. In those seven matches, they have five wins and three clean sheets, while they’ve failed to score in just one. They have scored two or more goals in six of the last seven league matches and going to this, they had a 7-0 win over Hatayspor. Besiktas carry a good run away from home; they are unbeaten in the last three in the league and in the last 12, they’ve lost just once.
