Besiktas will hope to resume their Turkish Super Lig season from the World Cup break in flying colours when they travel to Gaziantep. The Sunday evening contest will see the struggling giants of the country taking on an inconsistent host. Gaziantep have had their ups and downs this season, but it is their inconsistency that will be a concern for their supporters. However, what was unexpected was the way in which Besiktas have been struggling to play at the desired level.
