Istanbul Basaksehir  host Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig as the two sides continue with their quests for European competition next season. Three points separate them in the league standings, Besiktas on 43 in third place and Istanbul Basaksehir in fifth with 40 points. Hosts Basaksehir are coming from a 1-1 draw with Gent in the Europa Conference League and will be hoping to do better in domestic action. That result marked a third straight game without a win for Istanbul Basaksehir and they’ve also failed to keep a clean sheet in those three games. In the league, they have two wins and three losses in the last five matches. They’ve failed to score in the three losses and four of their last five league matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Unlike Istanbul Basaksehir, the visitors had no midweek assignment in Europe, thus they will be fresher and ready for this game. Besiktas will be looking to build on their 2-1 win over Ankaragucu in the last game. They are unbeaten in the last two matches and only suffered one loss in their last six matches. The loss to Sivasspor three match days ago is the only defeat Besiktas have had to take in in their last 10 league matches – they’ve won six times in those 10 games. An area to improve however, will be in defence, having managed only four clean sheets in their last 10 league games. Their last away league game in the league ended in a 2-1 loss to Sivasspor – their only defeat in the last five away league games and they have just one clean sheet in the five.
