The visiting Beşiktaş side should be favourites in this visit to Yeni Malatyaspor, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 31 league games this season.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Super Lig.
These teams have little in common geographically as Beşiktaş have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Yeni Malatyaspor are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Beşiktaş is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Yeni Malatyaspor form and stats
Overall Super Lig stats at home this season for Yeni Malatyaspor are 4-4-7 (wins-draw-losses).
Nothing to worry about in defence for Yeni Malatyaspor, as their goalkeeper Fabien Farnolle has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the Super Lig.
It's back home for Yeni Malatyaspor, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sivasspor away with the result 1-0. Afriyie Acquah found the net in that victory. Before that, Malatyaspor drew at home versus Gençlerbirliği.
