Beşiktaş host Antalyaspor in the Süper Lig on Friday, 10 April 2026 in İstanbul, with fourth meeting 13th and valuable points shaping the race for Europe and the survival picture.
Beşiktaş took the reverse fixture 3-1 in November and arrive with a stronger season platform. Antalyaspor, meanwhile, sit in the lower half and need a result to keep distance from the relegation places.
Kara Kartal have three wins from their last five across competitions, offset by narrow derby defeats to Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Antalyaspor have one win in five, though a 3-0 victory over Eyüpspor last time out lifted confidence after a draw at Başakşehir ended a three-game losing run.
Beşiktaş are without suspended midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, while forward El Bilal Touré is injured. Antalyaspor lose Soner Dikmen to suspension. Midfield balance and attacking options could therefore be shuffled on both sides.
Kara Kartal tend to control games, averaging 54% possession with 82.38% passing accuracy and 49 league goals from 319 total shots this season. Antalyaspor have scored 28 and conceded 43, but have seven clean sheets and a high defensive workload, registering 803 clearances and no penalties won. The hosts could look to turn territory into chances via crosses and aerial threat, while Antalyaspor may aim to keep compact and counter when possible.
A home win would take Beşiktaş to 55 points and further consolidate a European qualification berth. Antalyaspor would move to 31 points with victory and could climb the table, easing relegation worries.
