After league round 1 it's Beşiktaş - Pendikspor 3-0 in points. Who will achieve victory in this second Super Lig fixture of the season?

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Little time to rest for the hosting team, as they played a Europa Conference League fixture only three days earlier. Thankfully the previous game, versus Neftci, was also a home game here at UnionplatzHasan Doğan Milli Takımlar Kamp ve Eğitim Tesisleri. The away team is better rested.
