Preview: Istanbul Basaksehir vs. Antalyaspor - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Tuesday's Turkish Super Lig clash between Istanbul Basaksehir and Antalyaspor, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Unbeaten in each of their last five matches, Istanbul Basaksehir welcome Antalyaspor to the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu on Tuesday afternoon.

The away side, meanwhile, will be looking to arrest their ongoing slump in form, which has seen them lose four of five games heading into this one.


Match preview

Istanbul Basaksehir eased past the challenge of Umraniyespor thanks to a 3-1 victory when the teams clashed at the Umraniye Hekimbasi Sehir Stadyumu on Friday.

Emre Belozoglu's men broke the deadlock through Danijel Aleksic but were soon pegged back by Umut Nayir, after which Serdar Gurler and Youssouf Ndayishimiye netted to settle the contest.

As a result, the Grey Owls have now climbed up to fourth place in the Turkish Super Lig table, three points behind division leaders Galatasaray.

Coming up next is the task of facing off against an opposing side who have won just one of the last 14 editions of this fixture dating back to 2016.

Currently with the second-best home record this term, picking up 16 points from a possible 24, Tuesday's hosts will fancy themselves to get the job done in front of their fans once again.

Antalyaspor were powerless to stop Ankaragucu as the latter ran out comfortable 2-0 winners in Friday's encounter at the Antalya Stadyumu.

Nuri Sahin's men had little to show for an impressive first-half performance before goals from Jese Rodriguez and Ali Sowe in the second period put them to the sword.

With a tally of 16 points from 13 outings to date, the Scorpions are 12th in the league standings and continue to look dangerously over their shoulder, as just two points separate them from the drop zone.

Fresh off the back of a first away victory since August in their last involvement on the road, Tuesday's visitors will be seeking to pick up where they left off on enemy territory.

Team News

Mesut Ozil is still sidelined with a back problem which has limited him to just one outing this term, and the 34-year-old will not play any part for Basaksehir here.

Serdar Gurler will be aiming to deliver the goods for the home side once again, having got himself on the scoresheet three times in his last two matches.

Antalyaspor's Alassane Ndao continues to nurse a leg injury as the Senegalese remains without an appearance since the second week of September.

The away side will also have to make do with the absence of Shoya Nakajima, who is set to sit out a fifth consecutive game through a torn muscle.

Babacan; Lima, Touba, Ndayishimiye, Ozbayrakli; Tekdemir; Ozcan, Aleksic; Gurler, Chouiar, Okaka
