Besiktas, Recent FormBesiktas manager Fernando Santos will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Samsunspor. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Samsunspor, who had 11 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Santos will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Ankaragucu, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 home win over Gaziantep in their last league game, Ankaragucu will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 70% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Gaziantep's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Emre Belözoğlu will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 14, but conceded at least one goal in 14 of their 15 away games this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Ankaragucu, Efkan Bekiroğlu will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The Ankaragucu defence has struggled at Beşiktaş Tüpraş Stadyumu, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 13 visits.
On home soil Besiktas have managed to keep their visitors at bay for a very long time in this league fixture, denying Ankaragucu a win against them for 13 games in a row.
Besiktas manager Fernando Santos has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Tayfur Bingöl (Hamstring), Onur Bulut (Hamstring), Amir Hadžiahmetović (Cruciate ligament), Yakup Kılıç (Thigh), Arthur Masuaku (Hamstring), Ante Rebić (Thigh) and Salih Uçan (Thigh) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Emre Belözoğlu has a number of injury concerns in his Ankaragucu squad to contend with: Tolga Ciğerci (Calf), Ertaç Özbir (Ligament) and Alper Uludağ (Muscle)
