Round five of the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig season will feature a clash between Trabzonspor and Besiktas at the Papara Park this Sunday evening.
Following their commanding performance, Senol Gunes's team secured the top spot at halftime with goals from Omar Colley and Milot Rashica, which ultimately earned them all three points. Consequently, Besiktas has climbed to the fourth position in the Turkish Super Lig standings, trailing the leaders, Fenerbahce, by just two points.
Next up, they face an opponent who has lost just one of their last ten encounters. With an impressive record of six consecutive away victories, Besiktas is feeling confident about securing another win on the road this Sunday.
Trabzonspor, on the other hand, enjoyed a comfortable 5-1 victory over Kasimpasa in their recent meeting on September 1 at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadyumu. Nenad Bjelica's squad dominated the first half with goals from Enis Destan, Enis Bardhi, and Filip Benkovic, while Bardhi and Goktan Gurpuz sealed the deal in the second half.
With five points from their four matches so far, Trabzonspor currently sits in seventh place in the standings, trailing their upcoming opponents by three points and three positions.
Besiktas recently secured their third win across all competitions with a 2-0 victory against Sivasspor at the Besiktas Park on September 3.
However, injuries have affected both teams. Trabzonspor will be without Turkish duo Eren Elmali and Huseyin Turkmen due to hip and muscle injuries, respectively. Joaquin Fernandez is also dealing with a leg problem, but Dimitrios Kourbelis is expected to return after a brief sideline due to international duty with Greece. Unfortunately, Mislav Orsic will remain sidelined with a knee injury.
Besiktas will miss the services of twenty-three-year-old Tayyip Sanuc due to a knee injury he sustained in April.
Omar Colley, who has scored in three of his last four appearances, will be a key player to watch for the visitors.
In summary, Trabzonspor and Besiktas will face off at Papara Park for a Turkish Super Lig matchday five fixture on Sunday. Trabzonspor enters the game following a convincing 5-1 away victory over Kasimpasa, while Besiktas recently defeated Sivasspor 2-0 at home. Besiktas is in fourth place with seven points from three games, while Trabzonspor is in seventh place with six points from four games.
This will be their 110th meeting, with Besiktas having 42 wins, Trabzonspor with 39 wins, and 28 draws. Their last encounter was a goalless draw in April, ending a streak of nine consecutive matches with goals from both sides. Besiktas is currently unbeaten in nine games this season, winning eight of them. Trabzonspor has not lost to Besiktas in over three years.
Besiktas has had a strong start to the season but trails the league leaders, Fenerbahce. Trabzonspor has had a decent start and has a good recent record against Besiktas, remaining undefeated against them for over three years.
