Genclerbirligi v Besiktas: Expected Starting Line Up – Ex Arsenal youth set to miss clash

Beşiktaş take on Gençlerbirliği at the Ankara 19 Mayıs stadium knowing that a win will move them into second place in the Turkish Super League just one point behind leaders Fenerbahçe.

The Black Eagles will also score their 3000th goal if they find a way past Gençlerbirliği keeper Hopf today.

Beşiktaş boss Şenol Güneş is expected to rest Oğuzhan Özyakup. The former Arsenal youth recently recovered from injury but is likely to be rested ahead of the Fenerbahçe derby next week.

Germany international Mario Gomez is set to get the nod over Cenk Gönen after an impressive performance last week while Olcay Şahan is expected to return to the team after serving his suspension.
