Hatayspor host Besiktas at the Mersin Stadyumu on Monday in the 14th round of games in the Turkish Super Lig.
The hosts' 1-1 draw against Konyaspor in their last game marked the first time they picked up points in back-to-back league outings this season. Hatayspor are second-from-bottom in the points table, having only gotten their first win of the season on matchday 12 against Gaziantep.
Besiktas, meanwhile, went unbeaten in their opening nine games, winning six. They have, however, suffered a recent dip in form, with a 4-2 home defeat to Goztepe last time out extending their winless streak to four games, dropping them to sixth in the standings.

Hatayspor vs Besiktas Prediction
Hatayspor go into the game as the underdogs despite the visitors' recent struggles and will need to be at their best to come away with a point. Their victory over Gaziantep earlier in November saw them snap a five-game winless streak at home.
Besiktas, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won one of their last six games across competitions. They are, however, the stronger side and should win.
