Kasimpasa will host Besiktas at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts will be looking to return to winning ways and avoid falling into the drop zone so early in the season.
Kasimpasa’s struggles continued on Monday as they fell to an humbling 2-0 defeat at the hands of Eyupspor, marking their fourth league defeat after nine games played. The Apaches had a comfortable mid-table finish last season but have started off this campaign on a poor note with only two wins so far and will be keen to turn things around in the coming weeks to avoid being in a relegation battle by mid-season.
Besiktas have had a much better start to the campaign than their hosts as they sit in sixth place with five wins from nine games but will have their focus on moving into the European qualification spots. The Black Eagles fell to a disappointing 2-1 loss against newly-promoted Gençlerbirliği before the international break but returned to winning ways by getting a 2-0 away win against Konyaspor on Wednesday and will be hoping to build momentum going into the weekend.
