Match Preview

The equaliser of Guti from the penalty spot kept the heads of Besiktas stuff highagainst Fenerbahce on the road. Now, they meet Antalya in the league before they face Rapid Wien in Uefa Europa League. German coach Bernd Schuster will already miss injured Ferrari and Sivok. Besides them, Ekrem Dag is also out after being injured in that game. Moreover, Guti was injured in the training. So he is expected to be rested for the trip to Austria. Brazilian Rodrigo Tabata will probably replace him. Even though the team has those missings, they look strong.

Antalya looks like they have found their rhytm. They made Kayseri taste their first defeat. Mehmet Ozdilek, who is the boss of the team, hopes to defeat Besiktas JK twelve years later. The regular keeper Omer Catkic is still missing. That is why young French keeper Ndjock will continue to save his net. Moreover, Ali Zitouni has an injury which made him unavailable in the last two games. The dangerous attacking duo Necati Ates & Dijehoua and the midfielder Tita can find empty spaces against the hosts as their defence line is close to the midfield.

The weather in Istanbul will be aroung 25 degree. The refree of the game is Ozgur Yankaya. The home side has recorded one victory and one draw with him; the visitors have also recorded one victory and one draw with him last year.

General: Beşiktaş: 18 Draw: 5 Antalya: 2 (since 1994)
               
Last year: Antalya: 0 Beşiktaş: 1
               Beşiktaş: 2 Antalya: 0

 
I think Besiktas JK will score; because they have great offensive names and a young keeper will be against them. On the other side, Besitas’s defence line is still close to the midfield. I think the visitors will also score with their dangerous players like Dijehoua, Necati and Tita.
