Match preview

Adana Demirspor can claim a third consecutive league victory when they face Besiktas on Monday with the hosts looking to continue their impressive goalscoring form.

After thrashing Fatih Karagumruk 5-0, Adana Demirspor then eased to a comfortable away victory over Rizespor last weekend.

A Birkir Bjarnason opener and a Mario Balotelli brace helped Adana Demirspor to a 3-1 win against Rizespor to keep their place in the top four.

In midweek, they faced Alanyaspor in the Turkish Cup and fell behind in the 22nd minute courtesy of Wilson Eduardo's opener, but Erhun Oztumer hit back before half time to restore parity.

With neither side able to find a winner in 90 minutes or extra time, the tie was decided by penalties, with Adana Demirspor coming up short, but they will not have time to dwell on that disappointment as they look to continue their quest for European qualification.

Besiktas will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions, but they still find themselves outside of the European places.

They head into Monday's contest in seventh position, with three points separating them from the four.

Last weekend, Besiktas played out a 0-0 draw against Antalyaspor and they experienced another goalless draw in the Turkish Cup in midweek.

The Black Eagles faced Goztepe in the last 16 and with no side able to find a winner in 120 minutes of football, the cup tie had to be decided by a penalty shootout, which Besiktas won to book their place in the quarter-finals.

Having scored more away goals in the league this season than any other side, Besiktas will be confident that they can trouble the Adana Demirspor defence on Monday.

Team News

Tarik Camdal has missed Adana Demirspor's last four games due to injury and is expected to miss Monday's contest.

Vincenzo Montella made a number of changes for the cup tie, but Monday's side will resemble the one that started the league encounter with Rizespor.

Having top-scored for his club in the league this season, Balotelli will pose one of Adana Demirspor's main goal threats.

Meanwhile, Miralem Pjanic will be suspended for Monday's encounter after receiving a red card last weekend.

Rachid Ghezzal came into the starting lineup for the midweek cup tie, and he is expected to start on Monday.

The away side's main goal threat will come from Michy Batshuayi, who has scored nine goals in the Turkish Super Lig this term.

Adana Demirspor possible starting lineup:
Muric; Svensson, Sanuc, Deli, Kanak; Akgun, Inler, Stambouli, Vargas; Bjarnason, Balotelli

Besiktas possible starting lineup:
Destanoglu; Rosier, Montero, Vida, Yilmaz; Hutchinson, Bozdogan, Ilkhan; Ghezzal, Teixeira, Batshuayi

We say: Adana Demirspor 2-2 Besiktas

The reverse meeting between the two sides finished level after an entertaining 3-3 draw, and we think with the teams separated by just three points in the league table that Monday's encounter will also end all square.
