Looking to end their four-game losing streak, Yeni Malatyaspor play host to Besiktas at the New Malatya Stadium on Friday.
The visitors, on the other hand, are currently unbeaten in each of their last five games in all competitions and will look to keep the ball rolling.
Yeni Malatyaspor saw their game against Gaziantep postponed at half-time with the score at 0-0 due to poor weather in Turkey.
Prior to that, they had lost each of their last four games in all competitions, while failing to taste victory in eight consecutive outings.
With 15 points from 21 games, Yeni Malatyaspor are currently rock-bottom in the Turkish Super Lig table, eight points away from safety.
Meanwhile, Besiktas made it two wins from two last time out when they saw off Fatih Karagumruk 1-0 away from home.
Onder Karaveli’s men head into Friday’s game unbeaten in each of their last five games, claiming four wins and one draw in that time.
This fine run of results has seen them rise to fourth place on the log after claiming 35 points from 22 games.
