Beşiktaş WDLDWW
Beşiktaş will want to continue from where they left off last time out with a 0-1 Super Lig success versus Fenerbahçe.
In that match, Beşiktaş managed 38% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Beşiktaş was Gedson Fernandes (44'). Fenerbahce got 18 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target.
It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Beşiktaş haven’t conceded. The facts show that Beşiktaş have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 6 goals in the process. However, we will just have to wait and see whether the trend will persist in this match.
Going into this encounter, Beşiktaş have left without a victory over Adana Demirspor in their last 3 league games.
Adana Demirspor LLLLLL 🚑
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Göztepe in Super Lig action, Adana Demirspor and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that game, Adana Demirspor had 55% possession and 12 shots on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Adana Demirspor was Ali Yavuz Kol (33'). Goztepe got 15 shots at goal with 6 on target. Kubilay Kanatsızkuş (3') and Lasse Nielsen (9') scored for Göztepe.
A succession of fairly feeble efforts from the Adana Demirspor defensive unit has resulted in a total of 19 goals being surrendered by them in just their previous 6 performances. They could really do with paying more attention to this unwelcome part of their game.
Coming into this contest, Adana Demirspor are without an away win for the past 8 matches in the league. Who knows how long it might last, too.

📋 Team News: Beşiktaş
Salih Uçan (Calf strain), Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov (Achilles tendon problems), Emirhan Topçu (Hamstring strain) and Élan Ricardo (Hamstring strain) are not available for Beşiktaş manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær.
It’s our opinion that Kara Kartallar could make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, utilising Ersin Destanoğlu, Jonas Svensson, Gabriel Paulista, Felix Uduokhai, Arthur Masuaku, Gedson Fernandes, Amir Hadziahmetovic, Milot Rashica, Rafa Silva, M. Erhan Hekimoğlu and Ciro Immobile.
📰 Team News: Adana Demirspor
Adana Demirspor boss Mustafa Avcı has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Salih Kavrazlı (unknown injury), İzzet Çelik (unknown injury) and Andreaw Gravillon (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be playing here.
We’re of the thinking that Mavi Şimşekler will likely play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Deniz Eren Donmezer, Arda Kurtulan, Tolga Kalender, Burhan Ersoy, Abdulsamet Burak, Ozan Demirbag, Bünyamin Balat, A. Simão Muanza, Tayfun Aydogan, Ali Yavuz Kol and Yusuf Barasi.
✨ Prediction
Our feeling is that Beşiktaş will most probably dominate on the ball and be rewarded with decent chances.
In contrast, Adana Demirspor will not find it easy getting on the scoresheet but do we see them scoring.
Accordingly, we see a controlled 3-1 win for Beşiktaş at the end of the match.
