Besiktas JK
- Besiktas JK are one of the most improved sides in the Super Lig this season with Sergen Yalcin’s disciplined and adventurous system bringing a new lease of life to the side.
- The Black Eagles are fifth in the standings with 36 points from 20 fixtures and are very hard to beat right now after going unbeaten in their last five (Won 4, Drawn 1).
- Yalcin’s men average 1.70 goals per game at home in the Super Lig, conceding an average of 1.20.
- Besiktas JK will dominate possession against Alanyaspor.
Alanyaspor
- The visitors are not a side that sits back and try to snuff out the opposition’s creativity and will look to overload the flanks with their high wing-backs in a back-three system.
- Joao Pereira’s men will press forward in numbers, which could allow Besiktas to make a fast transition of their own and get players on the break.
- Pereira’s team have won only one of their 10 away Super Lig fixtures (Won 1, Drew 7, Lost 2).
- Alanyaspor have conceded 13 goals in 10 away Super Lig games, an average of 1.30 per game.
Head-to-Head
- The visitors won 2-0 at home to Besiktas in the Super Lig five months ago.
- Besiktas are strong at Vodafone Park, with 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses from their ten home games this season.
