Besiktas
  • As Uros Radakovic is suspended and Samba Camara is injured, young defender Emirhan Basyigit will get a rare start.
  • Ziya Erdal and Alaaddin Okumus are expected to deputise for the injured Ugur Ciftci and suspended Murat Paluli respectively.
  • Garry Rodrigues, Emrah Bassan, and Fode Koita are all injured, meaning Turac Boke and Azizbek Turgunboev will start on the wings.
  • Mehmet Albayrak has suffered a cruciate ligament tear. The young defender will not be available until March 2025.
  • Emirhan Topcu is expected to deputise for the injured Tayyip Talha Sanuc.
  • Semih Kilicsoy will lead the attack in Ciro Immobile's absence.
  • Joao Mario is likely to deputise for the suspended Rafa.
  • Necip Uysal and Gabriel Paulista have been sidelined with long-term injuries and will not be available until March 2025.
  • Emrecan Terzi and Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov are also injured but neither were going to start here.
  • Al Musrati has been loaned out to AS Monaco.

Prediction

  • Sivasspor were beaten 1-0 by Eyupspor last time out. They were outplayed from the beginning to the end so manager Erdogan could not have any complaints about the result. This was their fifth consecutive away loss and it already looks like the experienced manager's reign here might be quite short-lived. They are without some key players here, so expect a more defensive approach than usual.
  • Besiktas shared points with Antalyaspor in a 1-1 draw last time out. The result was fair as both teams put up a drab performance. Rafa's absence here will hurt Besiktas as the Black Eagles over-rely on him to create chances.
  • Although both teams have some key names missing, Besiktas are slight favourites here as they have better replacements and a deeper squad.

  • Immobile TSA +115

  • Besiktas Win

  • Besiktas is winless in their last 7 Super Lig away games. Sivasspor despite sitting just above relegation, has been solid at home. They have lost only 3 of 11 home matches, all against top six sides. Regardless of the result, this should be an entertaining clash.
