Just a few months after winning their first ever Super Lig title, Istanbul Basaksehir have sunk to a level they are battling relegation. The champions will be hosting Besiktas in the 29th round matches. Going to this game, Basaksehir are placed 16th with 29 points while Besiktas top the standings with 60 points. The hosts are coming from a 1-0 win over Genclebirligi, their first win in 11 league matches and only their second in 13 across all competitions. Scoring has been a key concern at the team; the champions haven’t scored more than a goal in their last 11 league matches. They’ve failed to score completely in five of the 11 and have just three clean sheets in 15 league matches. Demba Ba has been the team’s leading light in attack, and in the last two matches, he’s scored late goals to help the team win four points. The team has no win in six league matches at home, and just one win in 10.

Besiktas, on the other hand, head to this game unbeaten in seven matches and having lost just once in the last 19 matches across all competitions. Unlike Basaksehir, the league leaders are in great scoring form and are also good defensively. They’ve scored two goals or more in three of the last five matches, and in the league, they have four clean sheets in five matches. Vincent Aboubakar has been in great form lately, with three goals in the last two matches. Besiktas have conceded just one goal in their last five league matches, that came late in their last game, against Gaziantep as they won 2-1. In 13 league matches at home this season, Besiktas have managed eight wins.
