Besiktas drew 1-1 in their last game against Alanyaspor to cement their place in Europe next season. Hwang Ui-Jo opened the scoring in the 40th minute, before Rafa Silva equalised for Besiktas in the 71st minute. Black and Whites are unbeaten in their last five games and have won three of their previous five games at home. They sit 4th on the table with 59 points in 34 games, scoring 54 goals and conceding 34. They are one step closer to booked a Europa League ticket for next season as they are five points above 5th-placed Istanbul Basaksehir. They can still move up as high as third on the table with a win here if other results in the league work in their favour. They are one point below third-placed Samsunspor.
Besiktas: Lineup
Head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjær will be without the services of Alexander Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gedson Fernandes, Emirhan Topcu, and Baktiyor Zaynutdinov for this game. However, the gaffer has nothing to lose, and Ciro Immobile is expected to lead the attack in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
