Besiktas and Ankaragucu get the ball rolling in round 33 of the Turkish Super Lig as they go head-to-head at the Tupras Stadium on Saturday.
Ankaragucu have failed to win their last nine away games against Serdar Topraktepe’s men and will head into the weekend looking to end this 16-year spell.
Besiktas were left disappointed last Saturday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Samsunspor on home turf.
Topraktepe’s side have now gone five consecutive Super Lig games without a win, losing three and claiming two draws since the start of March.
With 48 points from 32 matches, Besiktas are currently fourth in the league standings, level on points with fifth-placed Caycur Rizepsor just outside the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.
Elsewhere, Ankaragucu picked up three huge points in their push for survival as they edged out Gaziantep 3-1 at the Eryaman Stadium last time out.
Emre Belozoglu’s men are now unbeaten in three games on the bounce, picking up seven points from a possible nine since a 2-1 loss to Samsunspor on March 10.
With 37 points from 32 matches, Ankaragucu are currently 13th in the league table, level on points with 14th-placed Kayserispor.
