Besiktas looking to enhance European hopes at Hatayspor
Hatayspor vs Besiktas JK - 25/12/2023
4049
On Monday evening, Hatayspor and Besiktas clash at the Mersin Stadyumu in the Turkish Super Lig as the visitors look to boost their European prospects.
The home team currently sits in 10th place in the Turkish Super Lig table, just four points outside the relegation zone.
A four-game winless run in the Turkish top flight has prevented Hatayspor from moving up the table.
Last time out, they drew 0-0 at Ankaragucu, which was their second straight Lig game that they failed to score in.
Despite the lack of goals in their last two Super Lig games, Hatayspor’s recent games in the Turkish top flight have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their previous nine matches.
Hatayspor have been difficult to beat on home soil of late in the Super Lig, as they have lost just one of their previous seven home matches in the Turkish top-flight.
The visitors are fifth-place in the Super Lig table but only out of the European spots courtesy of an inferior goal difference to fourth-place Trabzonspor.
Things have not been going to plan for Besiktas of late, though, as they head into this encounter on the back of just one win in their last five games in all competitions.
Their form in the Super Lig has been poor, as they have failed to win in three matches, having suffered back-to-back defeats against Fenerbahce and Alanyaspor, which both came on home soil.
Besiktas have a mixed recent away record in the Turkish top flight, as they have won two, drawn one and lost two of their previous five away games on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that this will be a tight affair, ending in a low-scoring draw.
