Kasimpasa will host Besiktas at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium on Monday in another round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The home side have picked up important points in recent games after struggling in February and early March and are pushing for consecutive top-half league finishes.
They secured a hard-fought 2-0 win away at Samsunspor in their last match, with Mamadou Fall opening the scoring midway through the first half before Nuno Da Costa sealed the points late in the day with his 10th league strike of the campaign.
Besiktas, meanwhile, have hit a rough patch in recent games, although they remain on course for continental football. They picked up a 2-1 win over defending champions Galatasaray in their last league outing, featuring goals from former Benfica duo Rafa Silva and Gedson Fernandes, before suffering a disappointing 3-1 home defeat to Goztepe in the quarterfinals of the domestic cup on Thursday.
The visitors sit fourth in the league standings with 47 points from 27 matches and will be looking to return to winning ways on Monday.
Apaçiler are on a run of consecutive victories after going winless in their previous five matches. They are undefeated in their last six home league matches and will head into the midweek clash with confidence.
Besiktas, meanwhile, have lost three of their last four competitive outings. They, however, remain the better side ahead of Monday's clash and should win this one.
