Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Beşiktaş & Kayserispor face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Turkish Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
These are hustling days for the hosts, as they had a match only four days ago in the Super Lig. That game was an away game at Sivasspor, so at least Beşiktaş are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Beşiktaş form and stats
Beşiktaş have performed here at Vodafone Park this season with 9 wins from 13 Super Lig matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2.
A strong away win for Beşiktaş against Sivasspor the last match, as Batshuayi (2) and Ghezzal were on target. Batshuayi, who plays in attack, was the best player for the team in that match, collecting a rating of 7.83 (out of 10). Batshuayi scored two goals and had 21 successful passes (of 24 total).
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Altay.A decent goal production from Beşiktaş in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 13 league matches. Beşiktaş have conceded 14 in these home matches.
Kayserispor form and stats
Last season their Turkish Cup adventure ended in the 4th round.There's been little loot from Kayserispor's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 14 away games in the Super Lig. Kayserispor only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Kayserispor, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Trabzonspor. Bulut, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.55. Bulut signed up for two assists, hit five key passes and won 4 of 11 duels.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Giresunspor in the Super Lig.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Kayserispor have scored 17 goals in 14 league games away. The Kayserispor manager Karaman has some worries about the defense as 31 goals have been conceded in these travels.
