Besiktas welcome Eyup to Tupras Stadium for a Turkish Super Lig matchday six fixture on Sunday. The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Trabzonspor last weekend.

Eyupspor, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw away to Kayserispor. They were two goals up by the 36th minute courtesy of goals from Mame Thiam and Samuel Saiz and went into the break with a 2-0 lead. Arif Kocaman and Duckens Nazon scored within five minutes to draw the game level.
The draw took the new boys to fifth spot in the table with nine points to show for their efforts in five games. Besiktas are third on 10 points.
