Besiktas JK
- Besiktas JK have won four of their last five Super Lig matches and were 2-0 winners against Genclerbirligi SK.
- Sergen Yalcin, who returned to the club in August 2025, has made them play with a real tempo and his tactical tweaks to the system, pressing and movement, have paid dividends.
- Besiktas' midfield pivot is very much in the Wilfred Ndidi mold, providing the defensive stability from which the full-backs can take the game to the opponents while Tammy Abraham, with seven in 18 appearances, is their main attacking threat.
Kasimpasa SK
- Kasimpasa SK are unbeaten in their last two away games, both draws.
- Emre Belozoglu’s pragmatic Kasimpasa SK side will be a tough nut to crack and both teams to score - with odds of 1.77 - looks backable given the potential for Besiktas JK’s quality to see them through.
- Belozoglu has made the club much more solid in the midfield and defence since taking charge in December 2025 and has some experienced attackers that can create moments of quality, especially from set pieces.
- Kasimpasa SK have found an in-form player in Adrian Benedyczak, with two of their last six goals scored by Benedyczak.
- Kasimpasa SK’s top scorer is Pape Habib Gueye with five in 23 Super Lig appearances.
Head-to-Head
- There is much more to this Thursday night’s game than the league table suggests, with Besiktas JK sitting fourth in the Super Lig on 49 points from 26 games and Kasimpasa SK down in 15th on 24 points after 26 games.
- This fixture has a little more to it than Besiktas JK’s 1.34 odds suggest as they are winless in their last two home games against Kasimpasa SK.
