"Besiktas have continued on Ana eye-catching flurry on either side of opening the New Year. Heading into the festive break with a famous performance away at bitter local Fenerbahce as they secured a 2-1 victory, the mood in Sergen Yalcin's camp should be at a real high. Including a 1-0 win against Rizespor last month, the Black Eagles have won each of their previous three consecutive domestic appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 6-1."
"Likewise, Besiktas are unbeaten in all of their last eight straight outings - a purple patch that stems all the way back to November 2nd. With their sights now firmly set on finding a route back into the European spots, Yalcin's side have also conceded just a single strike in almost 300 minutes of action. Enjoying what has become their most fruitful spell of the 2025/26 campaign, Monday's hosts should be smelling a golden opportunity here."
"As for the visitors, while Kayserispor might have eventually dragged themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Super Lig status, Radomir Dalovic's men have a real battle on their hands in the time around. Opening Monday's trip to Istanbul sat in the drop zone, the Anatolian Star have recorded just a single victory from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions."
Besiktas arrive in strong form, winning a 3-0 Turkish Cup tie against Keciorengucu and recording league wins including 2-1 at Fenerbahce and 1-0 versus Rizespor. The Black Eagles have won their previous three domestic matches by an aggregate 6-1 and remain unbeaten in eight straight outings since November 2nd. The side have conceded just one goal in almost 300 minutes and target a return to European qualification during this productive spell of the 2025/26 campaign. Kayserispor sit in the relegation zone, have only one win in seven matches, failed to reach the Turkish Cup group stage and carry a poor record versus Besiktas.
