Besiktas will host Trabzonspor at the Tupras Stadyum on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig campaign.
The home side enjoyed a strong start to life under new boss Fernando Santos but have dropped off the pace in recent games and are now fighting to remain in the continental spots. They were beaten 1-0 by Sivasspor in their last match, finding themselves a goal down after just six minutes and failing to find a way back into the game despite dominating possession.
Besiktas sit fourth in the league table with 36 points from 23 games. They sit a point and a place behind their weekend opponents in the table and will leapfrog them with a win on Sunday.
Trabzonspor have also hit a rough patch of late and have now fallen significantly behind in the title race. They were beaten 3-2 by Kasimpasa in their last match heading into the break a goal up before their opponents turned the game on its head after the restart.

Besiktas are on a three-game winless streak after winning four of their previous five matches. They are, however, unbeaten in their last three games at the Tupras Stadyum and will be looking to extend that streak this weekend.
Similarly, Trabzonspor have lost their last three games on the bounce by an aggregate scoreline of 9-3. They have, however, lost just one of their last seven away outings and should pick up a point here.
