Antalyaspor were beaten 2-0 by Gaziantep last time out. They did create a lot of chances and played an attacking, entertaining football but were undone by their poor finishing. We will watch a very different Antalyaspor this time out though. Yenal unashamedly parks the bus against the Big 3 so they will defend very deep and in numbers here. Besiktas brushed Malatyaspor 3-0 last time out. Despite being beaten 2-1 by Borussia Dortmund in Champions League on Tuesday night, they looked impressive during the first 15 minutes of the first half and last quarter of an hour of the game. Antalyaspor are nowhere near the quality of Haaland and his friends. Pjanic and Batshuayi have already showed signs of a deadly partnership against Malatyaspor, and we can expect to see more of the same here. Besiktas will be tired but boast enough quality to do away with their hosts. 0:2
