Super Lig: Two squads in fairly good form get together for this game. Alanyaspor hold a small advantage with their 4th position in the standings?

Insights:
  • Beşiktaş have the fewest matches under the total-line (7) in Super Lig
  • Alanyaspor have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won away.

Alanyaspor have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
