Atinc Nukan and Wilker Angel are injured, so Dino Arslanagic and Marko Mihojevic will start at centre-back. Fehmi Mert Gunok, who wasn't expected to start against Goztepe, is sidelined with a long-term injury. Domagoj Vida has returned to training but lacks match fitness and is unlikely to start here. Serdar Saatci will deputise. Ridvan Yilmaz has suffered a thigh muscle strain and will not feature for the remainder of the season. Umut Meras will start in his stead.
Goztepe have lost 12 of their last 13 matches (Super Lig). Goztepe have conceded at least 2 goals in 12 of their last 13 matches (Super Lig). Goztepe have been losing at both half time and full time in 5 of their last 6 matches (Super Lig).
Goztepe were beaten 3-1 by Karagumruk last time out. Once again, they struggled to create decent chances and deserved to lose. The club is struggling with issues off-the-pitch and it is obvious the players are finding it hard to concentrate on it. Besiktas held Fenerbahce to a 1-1 draw last time out. Both teams played more conservatively than usual, likely because neither manager wanted to lose the last derby of the season. The Black Eagles are planning for the next season, preparing to part ways with high-waged players and replacing them with youngsters like Bozdogan and Ilkhan. 1:3
