Form: WDDLW
Besiktas, who are still under the management of interim head coach Serdar Topraktepe, finally managed to win a league match after three failed attempts (D2, L1). In their most recent match, first-half goals from Cher Ndour and Ciro Immobile were enough to see the team edge past Bodrumspor in a 2-1 home win.
It can be said that the Black Eagles aforementioned win was fueled by a prior 1-0 away win against Sivasspor in the Turkish Cup.
As a result, the team has won two consecutive matches for the first time since late October 2024. Home form should see them brimming with confidence as they are unbeaten in three matches with two wins in the process, a significant improvement from a side that was on a two-match losing streak.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1

Samsunspor
Form: WWDLW
Samsunspor finished three points above the relegation zone in the previous season. This was an achievement for a team that had recently been promoted. In the current 2024/25 Turkish Super Lig season, the visitors have been turning heads as they are aiming for a top three finish.
The Red Lightning has been in consistent form in the league and heads into this clash boasting a three-match unbeaten run (W2, D1).
In their most recent match, they saw off the threat of Kayserispor, recording a narrow 1-0 away victory. This extended their winning streak to two matches and marked their third win in five games.

Expert Betting Tips
Besiktas has seen a significant uplift in form, winning two consecutive matches across all competitions, not to mention they have avoided defeat in four matches.
Is this enough to trust them again? Well, at the moment I'm not entirely convinced they've put their floundering performance to bed in light of their recent match against Bodrumspor, which could've gone either way if it wasn't for their opponents profligacy in the final third.
I believe Samsunspor will make life difficult for them in this one, which is why I would rather back both sides to get on the scoreboard than look at the full-time market. Even if that were the case, a double chance for the visitors isn't such a bad pick.
