Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Trabzonspor

Due to their commitments in European football, Trabzonspor have seen their performance in the Turkish Super Lig decline as they are hovering one place above the relegation zone. 

Abdullah Avcı's men have yet to secure a win in their last two league matches, playing out goalless draws against Sivasspor and newly promoted Eyuspor. They are the only side in the league yet to concede a goal.

With two points on board from two matches, Trabzonspor occupies 15th place in the Turkish Super Lig standings. They are level on points with 16th-placed Alanyaspor in the relegation zone and seven points behind their opponents in this impending encounter. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Cakir; Malheiro, Mendy, Denswil, Elmali; Yokuslu, Lundstram; Orsic, Canak, Trezeguet; Dragus

Besiktas

Unlike their opponents, Besiktas have not been heavily preoccupied with commitments in Europe, and that has worked in their favor. The Black Eagles have been exceptional this season, as they have maintained a 100% record alongside reigning champions Galatasaray.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's wards made it three wins out of three, defeating Sivasspor 2-0 in a tight contest at the Vodafone Park. Across all competitions, they are undefeated in their last seven matches (W5, D1) and will want to build up on this momentum to maintain their consistent form, which is of great importance to them.

With 9 points accumulated from three matches, Besiktas occupies 3rd place in the Turkish Super Lig standings and are level on points with second-placed Galatasaray.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Gunok; Svensson, Gabriel, Topcu, Masuaku; Ndour, Al-Msurati; Rashica, Fernandes, Rafa; Immobile
