It’s one of the biggest derbies in European football as Besiktas vs Fenerbahce get set to play in what always proves to be a competitive and hard fought duel between two of Turkey’s top two clubs. Fans who tune in to watch Besiktas vs Fenerbahce live today will do so more because of the rivalry of these two clubs, than any sort of championship aspirations.
Besiktas vs Fenerbahce
Besiktas sit in 8th position in the league and find themselves in unchartered waters as the Istanbul club is always used to being in the top 3. Fenerbahce on the other hand are right there in the title mix, with only Trabzonspor and a measly two points holding them back from another title.
Besiktas are coming off a heartbreaking 1-4 loss to Dynamo Kiev in the UEFA Europa League which has all but put them out of the competition. They were the only team really competing in this year’s European trophies as Galatasaray and Fenerbahce crashed out in the qualifying rounds while Champions Bursaspor could barely record a goal in the Champions League.
It might be all or nothing for Besiktas’ coach who has been under fire recently for playing a brand of football that is not matching with club expectations following the hefty shopping spree the club went on this year bringing big names such as Guti and Quaresma.
Whatever happens in the match, you can be sure that there will be lots of controversy and post match discussion on everything that went down, from missed referee calls to clashes between the two fierce supporters of both sides.
You can watch Besiktas vs Fenerbahce live starting at 19:00 GMT.
