Besiktas offered a perfect performance on the road
against Bursa. With a three-goal victory, they continued to sit at the
top of the league. Coach Slaven Bilic will miss plenty of players
including Ismial Koybasi, Ugur Boral, Oguzhan Ozyakup, Filip Holosko and
banned Omer Sismanoglu. Veli Kavlak was also injured; but he recovered
and is ready to play. Key player Manuel Fernandes was carrying a slight
problem; but he will probably play on Sunday evening in the derby.
Galatasaray
were humiliated by Real Madrid in UEFA Champions League. They were also
unable to win their last three fixtures in the league. So it makes
pressure on coach Fatih Terim's team. It seems like they have to win
this fixture in order to be around the top of the league. Didier Drogba
got injured during the midweek fixture. His situation is doubtful.
Besides him, Hamit Altintop and Eray Iscan will not feature.
