Kasimpasa vs Besiktas prediction
Apaçiler have scored eight goals in their last three games while conceding just twice and will look to build on that form. Notably, they have scored at least one goal in their last 11 meetings against the visitors.
Kamil Ahmet Çörekçi is expected to miss this match due to an injury, while Mortadha Ben Ouanes will undergo a late fitness test.
The Black Eagles have struggled defensively in their recent outings, conceding two goals each in three of their last four games. Nonetheless, they have also scored at least two goals in eight of their last nine games across all competitions.
Orkun Kökçü was injured against Hoffenheim in the UEFA Europa League and is unlikely to be included in the squad for this match. Fabio Miretti and Milot Rashica are also expected to sit this one out.
Apaçiler have enjoyed an unbeaten home run this season and also have a strong defensive record. The visitors, meanwhile, have won just one of their last six away games in this fixture. With that in mind, a low-scoring draw is likely to ensue.
