Besiktas

The Black Eagles were confident enough to see off the threat of Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev at the Vodafone Park in the second leg of the Europa Conference League play-offs by defeating them 1-0 courtesy of Vincent Aboubakar's 52nd goal, putting the aggregate score at 4-2. This comes after taking the lead in the first leg on the road, winning 3-2.

Their recent match in the league was quite a disappointing performance from them, as they couldn't capitalize on their dominant display to edge newly promoted Pendikspor at home to be held to a 1-1 draw. In the season opener, they recorded a narrow 1-0 triumph away from home against Fatih Karagumruk.

Confidence is high in their camp, as they have yet to suffer defeat in their eight competitive matches, with their performance exceeding expectations. They have recorded seven wins and a draw and will be eager to extend that unbeaten run to nine matches to set the tone before the international break.

They currently occupy 11th place with 4 points to their name, five places above the relegation zone, and two points behind league leaders Fenerbahce.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

M. Günok; V. Rosier, F. Montero, O. Colley, U. Meras; S. Ucan, A. Hadziahmetovic, G. Fernandes; M. Rashica, V. Aboubakar, J. Muleka.

Sivasspor

The Braves have made a promising start to the new Turkish Super Lig season, with manager Servet Çetin having nothing to fret about in terms of his side's commendable performance. Their recent match against Antalyaspor witnessed home advantage come to their aid as they secured a commendable 1:1 draw.

Prior to this, they had no trouble asserting their dominance against Gaziantep away from home on the second match day, as they scripted a decisive 3:1 victory to bag maximum points courtesy of goals from Samuel Sáiz, Caner Osmanpaşa, and Gerson Rodrigues. This comes after their 1:1 draw against newly promoted Samsunspor at home in the season opener, a result that was miles away from expectations.

A palpable wave of confidence engulfs their camp as they currently find themselves riding on the back of an eleven-match unbeaten run in all competitions, picking up six wins and five draws—a run that stems all the way to the previous season, and with that, they remain steadfast in their endeavor to stretch that run to twelve matches. However, it won't be as easy a feat as they would've anticipated, as they take on a side that had the temerity to hand them a convincing 3:1 defeat at this stadium in the previous season, and navigating prudently will undoubtedly be their strategy.

They currently find themselves in third place with five points to their name, one point behind Fenerbahce in first place, and have maintained a one-point lead over their opponents in this clash.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

A. Sasal; M. Paluli, C. Osmanpasa, A. Appindangoye, U. Ciftci; C. Charisis, Y. Emre Konak, S. Saiz Alonso; E. Bassan, C. NJie, G. Rodrigues.

Besiktas have been an unassailable force when playing at the Vodafone Park, not only in the previous season, where they won 13 of their last 18 matches, but also in this fixture, where they are currently on a three-match winning streak, though this comes after a three-match losing streak. There's no doubt they'll be looking to sign off their last home game before the international break with a positive outcome.

Sivasspor may be the underdogs in unfamiliar territory, but there's no writing them off as they can pack a punch on any given day. So far, they have found the back of the net in their opening three matches, and their name can be anticipated to be on the scoreboard here.

Therefore, we expect goals to be seen at both ends of the pitch in what could be an entertaining display of attacking prowess from both sides.
