Match Preview

Fenerbahce could not start well to the season. After their exits from Champions League and then Uefa Europa League, they have lost against Kayseri on the road. It was already their second defeat in just four games. There is already pressure for coach Aykut Kocaman. Yobo has been injured on his debut. Bilica will replace at back. Selçuk will be in the front of the defence line. Niang will be supported by Mehmet Topuz and Stoch from the flanks. Emre and Alex will also support from the center.

Besiktas has made a great start to the season. After they have passed easy rivals in the qualifiying stages of Uefa Europa League, they have defeated CSKA Sofia with the header of Ernst in the first group game. There was only one game which they did not get any points. It was versus Ist.Belediye. They have a big potential to score with Bobo, Quaresma, Tabata, Nihat and Guti. Schuster wants the defence line to be close to the midfield as possible as much. They want to control the game by doing that. The Black Eagles hope that they will take all three points from this stadium where they were not very successful in the last encounters.

The weather in Istanbul will be aroung 28 degree. The refree of the game is Cüneyt Çakır. He is the best refree so far in Turkey and there is no doubt that he is the perfect man for the derby game at the moment.

Fenerbahce is very productive in the offence line, especially at home. Besiktas has also great names in the offence. Moreover, their defence line is so close to the midfield. That is why they are able to make mistakes. I think we will see thre goals at least.
