Command Analysis

Besiktas

Current form
Besiktas used to be considered one of the main forces in Turkish football, but lately it has been unable to impose competition on Fenerbahce and Galatasaray in the fight for the championship. Last season, the team took only the sixth place in the Super League, but managed to win the national cup. Thanks to this trophy, the hosts got a ticket to the Europa League group stage, but could not make it to the playoffs.
In the Turkish championship, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's players occupy the seventh place and with each round they only move away from the leading positions. In the last round, the Black Eagles failed to defeat the lowly Antalyaspor (1-1). In the Cup, the capital's club managed to start with a 1-0 away victory over Sivasspor.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tayyip Talkha Sanuch, Emrejan Terzi and Necip Uysal will miss the match due to injuries. The appearance of Gabriel Paulista on the pitch is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last eight matches.
- In each of the last three matches, the hosts conceded one goal.
Approximate composition: Mert Gunok - Artur Masuaku, Felix Uduohai, Emirkhan Topcu, Jonas Svensson - Al-Musrati, Jedson Fernandes - Ernest Muci, Rafa Silva, Milot Rasica - Ciro Immobile.

Kirklarelispor

Although Besiktas is showing extremely weak results this season, the club is simply obliged to beat Kirklarelispor in the cup match.

Bet on the total
There is a pretty serious difference in class between the rivals, so you should expect a lot of goals scored, primarily from the hosts. The guests can also count on a prestige goal, so we advise you to bet more on the total.
Our forecast is a total of more than 3.5 goals in 2.12
Betting on corners
Most likely, the hosts will be able to seize the initiative in the match and will actively press the opponent's defense for the entire 90 minutes. This should lead to a solid advantage in angular strikes.
