Beşiktaş v Fatih Karagümrük: European push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Beşiktaş host Fatih Karagümrük in the Süper Lig on Monday, 27 April 2026 in İstanbul, with the home side chasing European qualification and the visitors battling to climb out of the relegation zone.

Beşiktaş have taken most of the recent head-to-heads and start this round in fourth. Fatih Karagümrük arrive 18th and in need of points.

Kara Kartal have won three of their last five across competitions, including a 3-0 cup win over Alanyaspor, though league defeats at Fenerbahçe and Samsunspor checked their momentum. Fatih Karagümrük beat Çaykur Rizespor earlier this month but come in after back-to-back league losses to Konyaspor and Eyüpspor.

Beşiktaş are without Michael Murillo and Ersin Destanoğlu through suspension, while Kartal Yılmaz is injured. For Fatih Karagümrük, João Camacho, Ahmet Sivri and Abdul Kone are sidelined, reducing their attacking options.

Kara Kartal average 1.8 goals per game with 54% possession and 82.65% pass accuracy, and have scored 49 times from inside the box. That volume and crossing threat could trouble a defence that has conceded 53 goals. For the visitors, Sérgio António de Luiz Júnior leads with eight league goals, while Tammy Abraham and Orkun Kökçü (both seven) and creator Václav Černý (eight assists) offer the home side's cutting edge.

A win would move Kara Kartal to 58 points and strengthen their grip on the Conference League qualification place. Victory for Fatih Karagümrük would take them to 23 points and may cut the gap to safety, keeping their survival bid alive.
