Besiktas vs Kasimpasa Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 308

Besiktas will be seeking to continue their push of the European places when they play host to Kasimpasa at Vodafone Park on Monday.

The hosts are currently sitting seventh in the Turkish Super Lig standings, three points adrift of the top four, while Kasimpasa enter the contest sitting 11th.

Since taking the reigns as Besiktas boss, Valerien Ismael has won once and drawn two games, and though he is yet to taste defeat, he has also been troubled by his side’s inability to regularly convert draws into wins.

They failed to get the better of Giresunspor last weekend, with the contest ending in a goalless draw, leaving the Black Eagles seventh in the table.

After starting his reign with five points from three matches, Ismael will feel confident about his side’s chances on Monday, especially as they have lost just two home league matches this season.

A positive result on Monday would extend their eight-game unbeaten home run in the Turkish Super Lig, and it would also keep them firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish.

Kasimpasa occupy a midtabel spot, three points adrift of the top ten, and will be looking to braek into the top half of the table before the season comes to an end.

Momentum is certainly in their favour ahead of Monday’s contest, with five if their last six matches ending in wins, including their most recent game against Adana Demirspor.

Both Dogucan Haspolat and Jackson Muleka scored to put Kasimpasa in the lead before Adana Demirspor were reduced to 10 men following Mario Balotelli’s red card.

Kasimpasa started the second half with a two-goal lead and a one-man advantage, and they built on their first half display, with Muleka scoring his second, while Umut Bozok scored from the spot to confirm a comfortable 4-0 victory.

Besiktas news

Oguzhan Ozyakup is sidelined for the hosts due to a back problem, while Mert Gunok is a long-term injury absentee.

The will welcome back Welinton from suspension, with the defender expected to replace Necip Uysal in the back three, while Miralem Pjanic could come into the starting lineup for Monday’s contest.

Kasimpasa news

Kasimpasa could name an unchanged starting XI following their impressive performance against Adana Demirspor, with Bozok featuring among the substitutes.

Muleka has now scored in each of his last four matches, and will be hoping to continue his fine run of form when he features in the forward line on Monday.

Prediction and Odds

Kasimpasa have enjoyed a number of victories in recent weeks and will fancy their chances of picking up positive results on Monday.

However, they face a Besiktas side who have not lost a home league game since November, and we think the hosts will use home advantage to win the contest.
