Besiktas set out in search of a fourth win on the bounce when they take on Pendikspor at the Pendik Stadium in round 21 of the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.
Ivo Vieira’s men currently hold the division’s poorest home record and will need to be at their best as they look to end their seven-match winless run.
Pendikspor’s Turkish Cup campaign came to an end on Wednesday when they fell to a 2-1 loss against Antalyaspor at the Antalya Stadium.
This was in keeping with their struggles in the Super Lig, where they are on an eight-match winless run, losing five and claiming three draws since a 1-0 victory over Samsunspor on November 12.
With 16 points from 20 matches, Pendikspor are currently 19th in the Super Lig table, five points behind Gaziantep above the dotted line.
Besiktas, on the other hand, cruised through the fifth round of the Turkish Cup as they picked up a comfortable 4-0 victory over second-tier Eyüpspor.
Fernando Santos’ side have now won three consecutive matches, including back-to-back league victories over Caykur Rizespor and Fatih Karagumruk respectively.
With 35 points from 20 matches, Besiktas are currently fourth in the league table, two points behind Trabzonspor in the Europa League qualification spot.
