Yeni Malatyaspor vs Besiktas Prediction & Betting tips
In the Super Lig, things are going very quickly and the title race is slowly coming to a head. Right in the middle are the Black Eagles from Istanbul, who are currently in second place in the table. With one game less in the account, the gap to the league leaders is three points. Because Besiktas is ahead in a direct comparison against the Turkish record champions, the top position can be conquered in the event of a tie.
The home side from Malatya is currently in a form crisis and recently even said goodbye to head coach Hamza Hamzaoglu. As an interim solution, Hakan Caliskan has taken over the team for the time being. Last weekend, Yeni Malatyaspor took just one point under his leadership at Genclerbirligi, a direct competitor in the relegation battle.
Malatyaspor :
Last season Yeni Malatyaspor just missed relegation and only fixed relegation at the green table. By increasing the Süper Lig to 21 teams, a move into the TFF 1. Lig and the associated financial meltdown could be prevented.
For long stretches in the first half of the current season, Yeni Malatyaspor stayed away from the relegation battle, meanwhile the points cushion on the relegation places has narrowed. After a persistent form crisis, the black and yellow from Eastern Anatolia only six points separate from the red zone.
The board pulled the rip cord just under a week ago and put Hamza Hamzaoglu on leave. Because no successor was found at short notice, Hakan Caliskan took over the team as an interim solution. Under his leadership, there was only one point in the relegation crash against Genclerbirligi last weekend, which worsened the form crisis in the Super Lig.
Besiktas :
Last weekend Besiktas was able to take the table lead in the Turkish House of Lords, after the victory from the Turkish record champions, BJK slipped back to second place in the table. Because the Black Eagles are ahead in a direct comparison against their city rivals, Besiktas can move back to the top of the table with a win on Tuesday evening.
In Malatya, the team of BJK head coach Sergen Yalcin is aiming for the fourth win in a row. Most recently, the black and white from Istanbul prevailed against teams like Konyaspor, Genclerbirligi and Denizlispor, while the second in the table did not concede a single goal.
Those statistics are always surprising, because in the last few weeks the traditional club from Istanbul had to contend with some personnel concerns, especially on the defensive. At times, so many defenders were missing that Yalcin was forced to rely on trained midfielders in the back line.
