DLWDWL ⚖

Following on from suffering a loss in their previous game against Konyaspor in Super Lig competition, Beşiktaş and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Beşiktaş managed 54% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 6 on target. On the other side, Konyaspor got 12 shots at goal with 4 on target. Ahmed Hassan (90') was the scorer for Konyaspor.

The stats tell the story, and Beşiktaş have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 12 goals in all. Defensively, Beşiktaş could really do with shoring things up. That being said, time will tell whether such a trend might be replicated in this upcoming game.

• remain undefeated by Çaykur Rizespor when they have played them away from home in the previous 9 league games. What an away run they have had against them.
