One of the teams fighting for relegation, Hatayspor and the big disappointment of the current season, Besiktas met in one of the most interesting games of the 17th stage of the Super League.

Hatayspor sit 11th with 19 points, just a few places off the relegation zone (17-20), and come off the back of one win (a surprise 2-1 home win against Galatasaray), two draws and two defeats in their last five league matches, while at the previous stage, they drew 0:0 away from Ankaragücü.

Three wins, one draw and four defeats is Beşiktaş’s record in the current Super League away games, while the Eagles’ top scorers are Vincenzo Aboubakar, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Omar Colley, who each have four goals in the league. .
