Besiktas vs Kocaelispor Prediction 29.09.2025 | Super Lig

This season, Besiktas will not be part of the UEFA stage, having suffered a shocking elimination at the hands of Swiss outfit Lausanne in late August, which means the Istanbul giants will now turn their full attention to domestic affairs.

However, it cannot be said that the Super Lig campaign got off to a promising start, as the Black Eagles have been rather inconsistent and displayed a zigzag form in the opening weeks, perfectly reflected by three wins and two defeats from their first five rounds.

That said, Sergen Yalcin’s side can approach matchday six with plenty of optimism after delivering their finest display of the campaign in midweek, crushing Kayserispor 4-1 on the road and climbing up to ninth in the table.

Now, Besiktas will be determined to produce another stormy attacking display as they look to preserve their 100% home record, having already seen off Eyupspor and Basaksehir with identical 2-1 victories in their first two outings at Tupras Stadium.

Due to injuries, midfield duo Demir Ege Tıknaz and Salih Ucan will be unavailable to help the Black-Whites in Monday’s clash, as they are still recovering.

Kocaelispor achieved a long-awaited return to the top tier of Turkish football last season, clinching the 1. Lig title to end a 14-year absence from the highest level, and spent the summer working hard on reinforcements with the aim of securing their main goal – a comfortable stay in the Super Lig.

To their misfortune, life in the Turkish elite division began on a sour note, with Korfez emerging in a negative light as one of only two teams yet to register a win after six rounds, managing to eke out just two points.

The second point came in their most recent league clash, when they played out a tepid 1-1 stalemate against Rizespor, keeping them at the bottom of the table, but luckily they are not alone in their struggles, and only two points separate them from safety.

After suffering a nasty knee injury on matchday one, Mateusz Wieteska is still in the treatment room, while Massadio Haidara missed the last league game for unknown reasons and remains a doubt.
