Besiktas hosts Genclerbirligi in round 17 of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Friday, December 27th at Vodafone Park (Istanbul)
When looking at the tournament position of the Black Eagles, we cannot see all the negativity that the club has gathered in a short period. December began promisingly. After a victory over Slovan in the Europa League group stage at the end of November (2:1), the men of Abdullah Avji gained three more. They won twice in the Super League, having beaten Kayserispor (18) - 4:1 and Kasimpasa (14) - 2: 3. The third victory was gained in the cup – Besiktas beat the representative of Lig 3, Erzincanspor - 3:0. Then the problems began. Wolverhampton made hamburger of the Turks’ defense in England - 4: 0. As for the local arena, Yeni Malatyaspor (8) did the same - 0:2. The return match in the Cup even ended without goals scored - 24 Erzincanspor won with a 2:0 score. The last round was also not in favor of Besiktas. Fenerbahce (4) beat the visitors (3:1). In total, the Black Eagles lost four games in a row and gained at least some profit only in the Cup, having reached the 1/8 finals of the tournament.

The club from Ankara continues to remain without a head coach but does not lose heart and shows a positive balance in the last five rounds. The game with Fenerbahce was lost, but how. That match was one of the most scoring in this season - 5:2. However, other matches of Genclerbirligi also cannot be called boring. Victories over Kasimpasa - 1:2 and Goztepe (9) - 3:1. Draws with Yeni Malatyaspor (3:3) and Sivasspor (1) in the last round (2:2). Don't you think that the club is much better without the leader of the nobility? Moreover, Genclerbirligi plays only in the championship since it wisely left the cup format at the 1/32 finals stage, having unexpectedly lost to the representative of Lig 3, Erokspor - 0:2. Having concentrated all its resources in the tournament, the team from Ankara manages to act in a positive manner even without a head coach.
The home field is a positive factor, but Besiktas, whose first eleven is exhausted by responsible matches in Europe and the domestic arena, will try to retain the fifth position, and it becomes its task No. 1. Head-to-head matches show a significant preponderance of the Black Eagles. Besiktas won four times with three clean sheets, but the current situation is not in favor of the hosts. Genclerbirligi is 102% devoid of any responsibility for the result, and when meeting with such eminent opponents, it already experiences not awe but a bad feeling of excitement. The attacking line of the visitors will repeatedly bother the hosts’ defense. Do you think it won’t achieve its goal? Bet: “Both teams to score - yes”.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
