Süper Lig 2025-2026: Eyupspor-Besiktas, the likely lineups

An Eyupspor with the water at its throat receives Besiktas in a crucial challenge for both: teams on the pitch at 6 p.m. The hosts have slipped to second-last place in the standings and urgently need to score points to change pace. Different situation for the Bianconeri, who, revitalized by Sergen Yalcin’s management, want to defend fifth place and get closer to the Champions zone; Goztepe, fourth, is +4, while Galatasaray (46), Fenerbahce (43) and Trabzonspor (41) are further away.

Orhan Ak’s team is going through a complicated moment: it has not won in four games and continues to concede too much defensively, as evidenced by the 12 consecutive games without managing to keep the goal unbeaten. The winter market brought in graft like Jerome Onguéné and Angel Torres in an attempt to give more solidity to a struggling group.

Besiktas, on the other hand, is experiencing a decidedly positive phase and is among the most in-form sides in the Süper Lig. The arrival of Sergen Yalcin has ensured balance and continuity, with a seven-game unbeaten streak in the league that rises to nine considering all competitions.

Probable lineups

Eyupspor (4-2-3-1): Yilmaz; Ulvan, Onguéné, Ortakaya, Yavuz; Taskin, Legowski; Gezek, Altunbas, Pintor; Bozok.

Besiktas (4-2-3-1): Destanoglu; Sazdagi, Djalo, Topcu, Yilmaz; K. Yilmaz, Kökçü; Rashica, Cerny, Toure; Abraham.
