📋 Team News: Alanyaspor

There is just one fitness concern for the Alanyaspor gaffer João Pereira to contend with from an otherwise complete group of players. Buluthan Bulut (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

It looks as if Alanyaspor will probably opt for a 3-4-2-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Ertugrul Taskiran, Nuno Lima, Fidan Aliti, Fatih Aksoy, Florent Hadergjonaj, Nicolas Janvier, Richard Coelho, Yusuf Özdemir, Sergio Córdova, Andraz Sporar and Ui-Jo Hwang.

📋 Team News: Beşiktaş

Beşiktaş manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov (Achilles tendon problems), Emirhan Topçu (Hamstring strain) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Inner ligament stretch of the knee) miss out here.

We are inclined to think that Kara Kartallar appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Mert Günok, Jonas Svensson, Gabriel Paulista, Tayyib Talha Sanuc, Arthur Masuaku, Onur Bulut, Amir Hadziahmetovic, Milot Rashica, Joao Mario, Rafa Silva and Ciro Immobile.

🔮 Prediction

We believe that Alanyaspor will really need to work well to register a score against this Beşiktaş outfit who will likely end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a 0-1 win for Beşiktaş when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be interesting.
