Team News: Alanyaspor
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Alanyaspor boss Fatih Tekke to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Loide Augusto (unknown injury) will miss out.
It looks as if Alanyaspor will possibly kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game and select Ertugrul Taskiran, Florent Hadergjonaj, Furkan Bayir, Fidan Aliti, Jure Balkovec, Richard Coelho, Nicolas Janvier, Oguz Aydin, Efecan Karaca, Yusuf Özdemir and Ahmed Hassan.

Team News: Istanbulspor
Istanbulspor boss Osman Korkmaz has to currently contend with reduced team options. Emrehan Gedikli (unknown injury), Enver Sarıalioğlu (Cruciate ligament tear) and Eslem Öztürk (unknown injury) are those who can’t be considered. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Racine Coly, Florian Loshaj and Modestas Vorobjovas.
We reckon that Boğalar seem likely to utilise a 5-4-1 system by sending out Alp Arda, David Sambissa, Mehmet Yesil, Simon Deli, Demeaco Duhaney, Ali Yasar, Mendy Mamadou, Özcan Sahan, Vefa Temel, J. Kenio Santos and Emir Kaan Gültekin.
