Meanwhile, Rizespor can move to within three points of their sixth-placed opponents if they can prevail at the Rize City Stadium.
We say: Caykur Rizespor 1-3 Besiktas
With both teams in indifferent form heading into this fixture, there is a vulnerability surrounding each. However, we are going to back the superior quality of the visitors to come through for what would be an important win in the race for the European spots.

In-form sides Alanyaspor and Konyaspor will both be seeking to make a winning start to 2025 when they go head to head at GAIN Park Stadyumu on Friday in round 18 of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig season.
The hosts are unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches, while the away side make the journey aiming to extend their ongoing run of matches without defeat to seven.
We say: Alanyaspor 1-0 Konyaspor
As two of the lowest-scoring teams prepare to go head to head, we are anticipating a nervy and cagey affair with little goalmouth action at both ends.
That said, we just about fancy the home side to secure the points when all is said and done.
