Besiktas vs Akhisar Belediyespor
Super Lig
Date: 17th November 2017
Kick off at 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
Venue: Vodafone Stadyumu (Istanbul).

The defending champions got off to a slower start to the new campaign in Super Lig, but they seem to have finally found the right shape before the international break.

Senol Gunes’ men will be looking to make it three subsequent league wins this Friday when they are to raise the curtain on the 12th round against the bottom-half Akhisar Belediyespor side.

Besiktas

The Black Eagles bagged five goals in consecutive victories over Alanyaspor and Goztepe to narrow the gap behind leaders Galatasaray to five points.

They still have huge issues with the defensive line which has been the weakest part of the team so far in the season. Besiktas allowed at least a goal in each of last seven fixtures in all competitions.

Nonetheless, Gunes can be thrilled with the form of Cenk Tosun who bagged six goals in last six matches for the Black Eagles.

Akhisar Belediyespor

Tosun should have plenty of space to keep the impressive spell of form going on Friday given Akhisar’s defensive struggles in the most recent period.

The visitors will make the trip to the capital on the back of a demolishing 0-4 defeat to Alanyaspor at home in the 11th round.

Moreover, they’ve lost three of last four matches on the road and we are not quite optimistic about their chances against the champions.
