Before the current matchday, Başakşehir had climbed to 4th place, which secures European qualification. Beşiktaş defeated Rizespor on Friday and moved back to 4th place. Therefore, Başakşehir only needs a win to return to 4th place and reduce the gap with 3rd placed Trabzonspor, who lost to Samsunspor on Saturday.

Kasimpasa got the home win against Samsunspor, after two consecutive losses. Just in the 3rd minute, Kasimpasa took the lead with Kara scoring. Samsunspor held the ball more in possession in the first half, trying to equalize. In the second half, their pressure increased. They held the ball with 69% possession, making 9 shots on goal. However, none of their efforts found the net and the match was decided by the goal in the 3rd minute in favor of Kasimpasa.

Kasimpasa is in 7th place with 49 points. They want the win to get closer to the European dream and to be just 2 points away from the top four. It won’t be easy as they will face the in-form Basaksehir.
