Besiktas will host Antalyaspor at the Tupras Stadyum on Sunday in the second round of the 2024-25 Super Lig campaign. The home side have enjoyed a bright start to their season, kicking things off with a 5-0 trouncing of rivals Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Cup earlier in the month.
They then faced Samsunspor in their league opener last weekend, picking up a 2-0 win via goals from summer arrivals Gabriel Paulista and Rafa Silva and will be looking to mark their return to the Tupras Stadyum this Saturday with a win.
Antalyaspor endured a sluggish finish to their league campaign last season and an even more underwhelming pre-season campaign as they look to find their feet under new boss Alexsandro de Souza.
Trending
They locked horns with Goztepe on opening day, playing out a goalless draw against the newly-promoted outfit and could have no real complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
