Besiktas secured their 23rd league-win of the season against Kasimpasa last time out thanks to goals from Gedson Fernandes, Cenk Tosun, Vincent Aboubakar, Tayfur Bingol and Atiba Hutchinson. The result extended their unbeaten run to 16 games across all competitions, while recording 13 victories in the process. Senol Gunes’s side are guaranteed to finish either second or third by the close of play in the midweek, a marked improvement on the sixth-place ranking from last season, while a spot in the second qualifying round of the Europa League is guaranteed. Meanwhile, since the Black Eagles are sitting level on 77 points with second-placed Fenerbahce, who will be handed a 3-0 win against now-absent Gaziantep, therefore Besiktas must thrash Konyaspor by five goals to force their way into the second position.
Konyaspor, on the other hand, shared the spoils against Fatih Karagmuruk last time out despite taking the lead through Marlos Moreno’s 40th-minute effort. Antolian Eagle have recorded 12 top flight wins this term and their last success came away to Alanyaspor mid-way through May courtesy of three unanswered goals through Alejandro Pozuelo’s efforts either side of Soner Dikmen’s 54th-minute strike. With just one game remaining, Aleksandar Stanojevic’s men cannot rise higher up the table, as they are trailing the sixth-placed Tranzonspor by seven points, but are sitting just two points clear of Fatih Karagmuruk, who are at the eighth position.
Besiktas probable starting lineup: Gunok, Rosier, Colley, Uysal, Meras, Hutchinson, Ucan, Muleka, Fernandes, Tosun, Aboubakar
Konyaspor probable starting lineup: Sehic, Oguz, Demirbag, Yazgili, Guilherme, Paz, Dikmen, Michalak, Pozuelo, Moreno, Diouf
