On Saturday evening, Antalyaspor and Besiktas clash at the Corendon Airlines Park as the visitors look to maintain their bid for the Super Lig title.
Antalyaspor form guideThe home side is in 12th place in the Turkish Super Lig, nine points clear of the relegation zone. A recent poor run of form in the Turkish top flight of just two victories in their last seven league games has hindered their chances of moving up the table.
Their recent matches in the Super Lig have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight games in the league.
Antalyaspor have an excellent recent home record in the Super Lig, winning four of their last five matches. However, a 2-1 defeat against Sivasspor in their previous home match in the league ended a four-game home winning run.
Besiktas form guideThe visitors look like outsiders for the Super Lig title, as they are in third place in the table, five points adrift of league leaders Galatasaray. However, they have played an extra game than both Gala and second-place Fenerbahce.
Besiktas head into this game in good form, as they are unbeaten in ten league games, having recorded eight victories in the run. The visitors have been prolific lately, as they scored two goals in eight of their last nine Super Lig games.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last four away games in the Turkish top flight, having recorded three victories and a draw. They have also scored at least two goals in three of their last four away matches.
Latest team newsAntalyaspor will be without Mustafa Erdilman, who is recovering from a knife attack. Guray Vural and Cemali Sertel are also fitness doubts. Meanwhile, Besiktas could be without Tayyip Sanuc and Rachid Ghezzal through injuries.
What am I backing?Antalyaspor have been great of late, while Besiktas have been excellent in recent months, and I am backing the visitors to continue that recent good form in this clash.
