Besiktas is set to take on Gaziantep this Tuesday evening, marking the 29th matchday of the Turkish top-flight football league. As the teams prepare to battle it out on the field, notable lineup decisions have caught the attention of fans and pundits alike.

Besiktas manager Fernando Santos has opted not to include Rachid Ghezzal in the starting lineup for the upcoming fixture.

This decision follows Ghezzal’s recent appearance on the bench during Besiktas’ defeat against Galatasaray over the weekend.

Alongside Ghezzal, Vincent Aboubakar finds himself among the substitutes for tonight’s match.

However, Santos has handed a starting berth to Arthur Masuaku, showcasing the Portuguese tactician’s tactical adjustments for the encounter.

Masuaku’s inclusion in the starting eleven signals Santos’ confidence in the Congolese defender’s abilities to make an impact on the pitch.

The presence of Masuaku, alongside Al-Musrati, underscores Besiktas’ strategy to deploy a formidable lineup capable of securing a positive result against Gaziantep.

On the opposing side, Gaziantep’s starting lineup features the notable presence of two African players, Nicolas N’koulou and Jamiro Monteiro.

The Ivorian winger Max Gradel, however, will begin the match on the substitutes’ bench, highlighting the diverse composition of Gaziantep’s squad.

As both teams prepare to battle for crucial points in the Süper Lig standings, tonight’s match promises to deliver an intense and captivating display of football.

With Besiktas seeking to bounce back from recent setbacks and Gaziantep aiming to secure a vital victory, all eyes will be on the players as they take to the pitch in pursuit of victory.
