Fenerbahçe head into the contest positioned 11th in the Süper Lig standings, while Beşiktaş arrive sitting 2nd. The hosts have done enough without setting the world alight, DWDWW over their last five and a 40% win rate to their name. When a team wins 80% of their matches and posts WLWWW in their last five, as Beşiktaş have, even the longest trips hold no fear. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. Tim Sherwood makes his predictions for the new Premier League season, including who he thinks will make the top four in the table.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Fenerbahçe may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Beşiktaş have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. There is interest in adding another forward player who can play in one of those wide No 10 roles behind the striker in the 3-4-2-1 formation that Sage is expected to continue with at Selhurst Park.

Individual quality could tip the balance. The league's leading scorer V. Osimhen, with 6 goals to his name this season, is a reminder of the firepower on display. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. Sean Longstaff completed the comeback with a scuffed finish just two minutes later- before Calvert-Lewin got his second via a carbon copy goal of his first.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. Given the balance of the numbers, Beşiktaş look capable of springing a surprise on the road — a 2-3 away victory is a distinct possibility. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. All I ever wanted to do was win a championship for the New York Giants.” Beckham Jr is likely to play in the Giants’ first preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium next weekend.
