National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ankaragücü or Beşiktaş that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Ankaragücü nor Beşiktaş as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Beşiktaş form and stats
They also participated in Turkish Cup last season. This ended in the quarter-finals.3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Beşiktaş playing as the away team in the Super Lig this season.
Beşiktaş play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Konyaspor.

Saïss hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that, Beşiktaş secured a home win against Kasimpasa with the score 2-1.The schedule is very tough for Beşiktaş now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super Lig game at Kayserispor is waiting in only four days.
Beşiktaş are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 14 times in 8 away games so far. Beşiktaş struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 13 goals conceded from these games.
