Besiktas aims to bounce back from their recent defeat as they host Kocaelispor at Tupras Stadyumu for a Turkish Super Lig match on Sunday. Vincenzo Italiano's team faces a challenging opponent, as Kocaelispor has also had a strong start to the season, winning four out of their first six league games. The visitors will be eager to measure themselves against another prominent Super Lig team in Istanbul. Besiktas has had a dynamic start to the league, accumulating 12 points from six matches and scoring 14 goals, trailing only Amed SK, Galatasaray, and Fenerbahce in terms of goals scored. However, they have suffered two defeats, the latest being a 3-2 loss to Amed SK just before the international break. Before this defeat, the Black Eagles were on a roll with four consecutive victories across all competitions, including three in the Super Lig, where they netted 11 goals. Now, they are determined to recover quickly, aiming to keep pace with league leaders Galatasaray, who are four points ahead despite playing one additional match. Besiktas will be bolstered by their flawless home record this season. Italiano's side has won all seven home fixtures across competitions this season, scoring 19 times and conceding only three, making Tupras Stadyumu a tough challenge for visiting teams. Kocaelispor, who lost 3-1 during their last visit to this stadium, arrives with confidence, having established a solid record of their own and believing they can secure a favorable outcome. In their most recent away match, Kocaelispor narrowly fell 1-0 to Galatasaray, conceding a goal in the 71st minute. This marked their second away defeat this season, following an initial loss to Basaksehir on opening day.
