BEŞİKTAŞ'S STARS MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Immobile has scored 3 goals in the league so far, while Rafa Silva has contributed with 2 goals. While Gedson Fernandes’ rising form has not gone unnoticed, Beşiktaş head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst is not expected to risk Semih Kılıçsoy, who has just returned from injury.
ŞENOL GÜNEŞ AT THE HELM OF TRABZONSPOR
Trabzonspor has drawn 1 of the 2 matches it has played in the Süper Lig this season.
The Black Sea team, which had a bye in the second week, had its 3rd-week match postponed due to its participation in European competitions.
Under the management of its new head coach Şenol Güneş, Trabzonspor will take the field against Beşiktaş in its first match of the season. Güneş is leading Trabzonspor for the 5th time in his career, and he also served at Beşiktaş between 2015-2019 and 2022-2023.
