Besiktas will host Kasimpasa at the Tupras Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The home side have enjoyed a positive start to their league campaign and now sit fourth in the league table with 20 points from nine matches, eight points behind Galatasaray at the top of the pile.
They were beaten 2-1 by defending champions Galatasaray in their last match, conceding a goal in either half before Albania international Ernest Muci came off the bench to score a stunning consolation goal for the Black Eagles.
Meanwhile, Kasimpasa have had mixed results in the league this season but remain hopeful of a top-half league finish. They were thrashed 4-1 by Samsunspor in their last match, heading into the break a goal up following two squandered penalty kicks from their opponents before a sluggish second-half showing saw them relinquish their lead in less-than-ideal fashion.
The visitors sit mid-table in 10th place with 11 points picked up so far and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
