Preview: Besiktas vs. Adana Demirspor - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Thursday's Turkish Super Lig clash between Besiktas and Adana Demirspor, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Having seen their four-game winning run come to an end last time out, Besiktas welcome Adana Demirspor to Vodafone Park on Thursday evening.

The visitors, on the other hand, go in search of consecutive victories for the first time since October off the back of ending a three-match winless run.


Match preview

Besiktas were denied a fifth straight victory across all competitions following a 1-1 draw against Gaziantep at the Gaziantep Stadyumu on Sunday.

Despite being in the ascendancy for large spells of the game, Senol Gunes's men fell behind to Joao Figueiredo's opener but managed to level matters through Wout Weghorst in the 86th minute.

With 23 points from 14 games so far, the Black Eagles remain seventh in the Turkish Super Lig table, a whopping nine points adrift of division leaders Fenerbahce.

Awaiting them next is the challenge of an opposing outfit with just one victory in the previous five clashes between the teams dating back to 2014.

Unbeaten in 10 home fixtures heading into Thursday's contest, the hosts have proven themselves to be a real force to reckon with in front of their fans and will be confident of securing another positive result here.

Adana Demirspor saw off the threat of Fatih Karagumruk courtesy of a hard-fought 2-1 triumph in Sunday's meeting at the Yeni Adana Stadyumu.

Vincenzo Montella's men opened the scoring via Emre Akbaba, but they were pegged back shortly afterwards by Fabio Borini, only for Akbaba to grab his second of the game two minutes shy of half time.

As a result, the Blue Lightnings have moved up to fourth place in the league standings, five points off top spot, albeit with a game in hand.

Currently with the most goals scored on their travels this term, Thursday's visitors now set out to fire on all cylinders away from home once again.

Team News

Romain Saiss will not feature for Besiktas here after the Moroccan suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty at the recently-concluded FIFA World Cup.

Still without an appearance since October for the home side, midfielder Rachid Ghezzal is also unavailable as he remains out with a muscle problem.

Following his late equaliser last time out, Wout Weghorst has now scored four times in his last three outings for club and country, making him one to look out for.

Adana's Emre Akbaba opened his account for the season with two lovely strikes last time out, and the 30-year-old will be seeking to pick up where he left off.

After making a return to action from a brief injury layoff, Fredrik Gulbrandsen is expected to retain his place in the starting lineup, having featured for 75 minutes against Karagumruk.

Besiktas possible starting lineup:
Gunok; Meras, Sanuc, Welinton, Rosier; Hutchinson, Uysal; N'Koudou, Fernandes, Tosun; Weghorst

Adana Demirspor possible starting lineup:
Ozbir; Rodrigues, Guler, Akaydin, Svensson; Stambouli, Ndiaye; Akintola, Akbaba, Onyekuru; Gulbrandsen


SM words green background

We say: Besiktas 2-1 Adana Demirspor

Off the back of a rough patch, Besiktas have turned a corner in recent weeks and are looking back to their best, while Adana Demirspor have been largely unconvincing of late. We are backing the hosts to come away with all three points in this one.
