The Turkish Super Lig will see Besiktas host Istanbul Basaksehir at Vodafone Park in the 28th game week of the Turkish top flight. Match kickoff schedules for 7th March 2022 at 20:00 EAT.
Besiktas have now turned their attention to the Super Lig, where they are sixth in the league standings with 44 points from 27 games. The hosts are on a run of three home clean sheets heading into this fixture. Besiktas were kicked out of the Turkish Cup last Wednesday in a 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Kayserispor.
Kara Kartallar will look to continue where they left out last time out with a 2-3 Super Lig win over Sivasspor. In that match, Beşiktaş had 53% possession, 16 shots with nine of them on target and goals scored by Michy Batshuayi (12′, 73′) and Rachid Ghezzal (43′). Sivasspor got 19 shots with six of them on target and goals by Mustapha Yatabaré (27′) and Fayçal Fajr (85′).
On the other hand Istanbul Basaksehir sits in the third place with 46 points. The team saw a run of four consecutive victories come to an end last weekend, as they were edged out in their away contest with Fatih Karagumruk. The visitors have proven to be a tough team to beat on their travels in recent times losing just one of their previous nine league games.
İstanbul Başakşehir will be hoping bidding to bounce back here coming off 1-2 Super Lig defeat to Fatih Karagümrük in their last fixture. In that game, İstanbul Başakşehir managed 63% possession, 13 shots with three of them on target and a goal scored by Trézéguet (25′). Fatih Karagümrük got five shots with four of them on target and goals by Fabio Borini (39′) and Ahmed Musa (41′).
