Besiktas will face BB Erzurumspor at Tupras Stadyumu on Friday night in the fifth round of the 2026-27 Turkish Super Lig season, aiming to continue their winning momentum. Vincenzo Italiano's squad comes into this match fresh off a significant victory in the Istanbul derby against Fenerbahce, while Erzurumspor arrives after achieving their first win of the season against Konyaspor. Besiktas has had a positive start under Italiano, earning nine points from their first four league games and currently sitting in second place in the Super Lig standings. The Black Eagles began their season with a narrow 1-0 win over Eyupspor but faced a setback with a loss to Alanyaspor. However, they quickly bounced back, dominating Corum with a 6-2 victory and then securing a 2-1 win against Fenerbahce last weekend. Ridvan Yilmaz equalized after Milan Skriniar's opener, and Dusan Vlahovic scored his fourth goal in two matches to seal the comeback. Their performance at home has been particularly strong, with Besiktas winning both of their league games at Tupras Stadyumu so far. Overall, they have won all five home matches this season across all competitions, scoring 12 goals and conceding only twice, while keeping four clean sheets. Historically, Besiktas has a favorable record against Erzurumspor in the Super Lig, having won three out of the four previous encounters and drawing once. Notably, they achieved a 4-0 win at home in December 2020 and a 4-2 victory away in April 2021, which were their last two meetings. The only time Besiktas did not secure a win against Erzurumspor in the league was back in January 2019, when the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Despite their challenges, Erzurumspor has managed to defeat Besiktas twice in the 2019-20 Turkish Cup, winning both matches 3-2.
