🗞️ Team News: Beşiktaş

We think that Kara Kartallar could use the 4-1-4-1 formation for this game with Ersin Destanoğlu, Jonas Svensson, Necip Uysal, Omar Colley, B. Zaynutdinov, Gedson Fernandes, Rachid Ghezzal, Milot Rashica, Ernest Muci, Jackson Muleka and Cenk Tosun.

🗞️ Team News: MKE Ankaragücü

Due to a mostly healthy group of players, there is just the one fitness issue for the MKE Ankaragücü gaffer Emre Belözoğlu to contend with. Alper Uludağ (unknown injury) won’t be playing here. The suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Yasir Karabay and Matej Hanousek.

We reckon that Kupa beyi might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Bahadir Güngördü, Stelios Kitsiou, Olimpiu Morutan, Nihad Mujakić, Kazimcan Karatas, Tolga Cigerci, Ali Kaan Güneren, Christian Bassogog, Efkan Bekiroglu, Uros Radakovic and Ali Sowe.

💡 Prediction

It looks to us that Beşiktaş will probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

In contrast, MKE Ankaragücü could well find it tough to find the back of the net but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet, too.

We’re tipping a controlled 3-1 margin for Beşiktaş at full-time.
