베식타시 vs 겐츨레르비를리이

Besiktas welcome Genclerbirligi to Istanbul on Sunday 8 November with fourth place against sixteenth. The hosts have 19 points from ten games, the visitors 8 from nine, so the gap in the table is already wide. Besiktas drew 2-2 at Kasimpasa on 1 November, a week after beating Basaksehir 2-0, and have won their last five league games at home. Dusan Vlahovic leads their scoring with six goals. Genclerbirligi have lost their last three away league games without scoring, the latest a 2-0 defeat at Konyaspor, and they have scored only seven goals in nine matches under Bernd Storck. The recent meetings are split. Genclerbirligi won 2-1 in Istanbul last October, then Besiktas won 2-0 in Ankara in March through goals from Olaitan and Kokcu. Our prediction: 2-0
