Beşiktaş

Orkun Kökçü is expected to miss out for Beşiktaş. He is still being treated for the toe injury, and his involvement will be decided after further assessment. Kökçü started each of Beşiktaş's last five matches.

There is better news further forward. Dušan Vlahović is available again after a hamstring injury, though Hyeon-gyu Oh is expected to keep the central striking role. Milot Rashica is a fresh doubt after suffering a strain and bleeding in his right rectus femoris, for which he began treatment this week. At the back, Tiago Djaló is expected to remain at left centre-back, while Emirhan Topçu is still being treated after an injury interrupted his training and remains uncertain for the match.

Ernest Poku is expected to keep his place after making his first start against Amedspor. Rıdvan Yılmaz should continue at left-back, with Amir Murillo again expected on the opposite side.

Kocaelispor

Massadio Haïdara is doubtful for Kocaelispor's regular left-back position due to a muscle injury, having started each of their last five matches. At left centre-back, Emir Ortakaya is expected to continue ahead of Matej Maglica, who did not play in the last match.

There is better news elsewhere. Muharrem Cinan has returned to team training after recovering from injury and is expected to start alongside Berkan Kutlu and Show. Rigoberto Rivas, Aleksandar Jovanović and Tobias Gulliksen have also resumed training this week, though none of the three is expected to start just yet.

Up front, Florian Ayé is available again after his pain subsided this week and is expected to keep his place alongside Mahamadou Susoho, with Gonçalo Sousa continuing on the right. Metehan Altunbaş should retain the left-wing place after making his first start against Gaziantep.
