If Beşiktaş want to stay in the race for third place, this is a must-win fixture. A victory here would reduce the gap to nine points, especially after Trabzonspor has secured wins over the weekend, increasing the pressure on Beşiktaş to respond.

The task is slightly more manageable, as Kayserispor are currently in the relegation zone and tend to play for draws rather than wins away from home. They have recorded six draws and just one victory in nine away matches, highlighting their cautious approach on the road.

Historically, Beşiktaş have also held the upper hand in this fixture at home, winning four of the last five meetings, with only one defeat.
