Istanbulspor, Recent FormAn important point secured against Antalyaspor will have left Istanbulspor quite happy with their 2-2 draw. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Antalyaspor's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 12 of their 13 games this season.
A home win for Istanbulspor is just a distant memory, having not won at Necmi Kadıoğlu Stadyumu in 6 games.
Besiktas, Recent FormBesiktas have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-0 home win against Konyaspor in their previous league match. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Konyaspor who had 5 attempts and 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. Although failing to score in 4 of their last 6 games, they may have turned a corner having won their last 1, and they're currenlty on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Besiktas recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
Goalscorer Semih Kılıçsoy will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Besiktas.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Besiktas running out winners in a match that ended 2-0.
Goals should be on the cards for Kara Kartallar in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Istanbulspor in their last 7 meetings together.
Besiktas has won the last 2 games they've played against Istanbulspor in the league.
With no real injury worries, Istanbulspor manager Osman Zeki Korkmaz will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Besiktas manager Fernando Santos with Yakup Kılıç (Muscle), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Thigh) and Emrecan Uzunhan (Cruciate ligament) all unavailable for selection, and Amir Hadžiahmetović (Cruciate ligament) out for the rest of the season.
