Besiktas and Goztepe return to action in the Turkish Super Lig when they square off at the Tupras Stadium on Sunday. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s hosts are on a run of five consecutive wins over Goztepe.

Before that, Van Bronckhorst’s side saw their eight-game unbeaten run in the league come to an end courtesy of a 2-0 defeat to Galatasaray, five days before suffering a 3-1 home loss against Kasimpasa.
Besiktas have 21 points from 11 matches to sit fifth in the Turkish Super Lig, three points and one place above Goztepe.
