Beşiktaş v Alanyaspor: European push meets mid-table reset | OneFootball

Beşiktaş host Alanyaspor in the Süper Lig on Sunday, 8 February 2026 in İstanbul, with the home side chasing European spots and the visitors aiming to steady their mid-table course.

Alanyaspor won the reverse fixture 2-0 back in August, so the hosts have a chance to respond on home turf and tighten their grip on the top-five picture.

Kara Kartal arrive unbeaten in their last five in all competitions, winning three of those. Alanyaspor's recent league run has been patchy, though they did thump Boluspor 4-0 away in the cup.

Suspensions bite on both sides. Beşiktaş are without El Bilal Toure and Kristjan Asllani. Alanyaspor miss Enes Keskin, Izzet Çelik and Yusuf Ozdemir through suspension, while Buluthan Bulut is injured.

On the numbers, Kara Kartal average 1.8 goals per game with 54% possession and 82.34% pass accuracy, and Tammy Abraham leads their league tally with seven goals. Vaclav Cerny has supplied six assists. Alanyaspor score one goal per game, have seven clean sheets, keep 48% of the ball and can create from wide through Florent Hadergjonaj, who has four league assists. The game could tilt if the hosts' open-play threat stretches an organised visiting defence.

A win would move Kara Kartal to 39 points and strengthen their European bid. Alanyaspor would reach 25 points with victory and could edge towards the top half.
