Dec 3rd features a match where Kasımpaşa will play host to Beşiktaş in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Super Lig teams in the anticipated İstanbul derby. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 15 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Kasımpaşa is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Adana Demirspor. Neither Adana Demirspor nor Kasımpaşa could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 9 and 11 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Kasımpaşa looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches, while beşiktaş is fresh off their 0-4 loss against Giresunspor. Fousseni Diabaté struck first for Giresunspor in the 22nd minute on a penalty shot, then Balde added another in the 55th minute on a feed from Alexis Pérez In the end, Beşiktaş was frustrated by Giresunspor’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Giresunspor ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Cyle Larin and Rachid Ghezzal are the top scorers for Beşiktaş in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Kasımpaşa’s most prolific scorer has been Umut Bozok. He has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches
