Ufuk Akyol is likely to deputise for the injured Andrea Poli. Manager Emre Belozoglu has a full squad available to pick from.
Antalyaspor managed to hold Sivasspor to a 2-2 draw last time out. This was a drab affair with both sides doing very little going forward. Player-manager Sahin used a three-man defence and is likely to persist with it. They didn't look very strong at the back against Sivas, but surely in time we will see some improvements. Sahin is still too new to management so we don't exactly know what kind of a home performance we will be seeing from the Mediterranean side. Basaksehir caused a massive upset as they beat Besiktas 3-2 last time out. They were gifted a goal by Besiktas goalkeeper Gunok and once they were up, they fought hard, created decent counter-attacking chances and ended up getting all three points. However, they had their own problems at the back and young manager Belozoglu will need to work hard on turning his defence into a solid, organized unit. Both managers are very inexperienced. Basaksehir have a stronger squad and a handful of names that can alter the direction of the game on their own, so they are slight favourites. 1:2
