Context last updated 9 Oct 2026, 02:48 · Europe/Bucharest

Two sides level on 12 points after six rounds meet at Tüpraş Stadium, where Beşiktaş have won all three home league games and scored ten goals.

Kocaelispor's away record is one win from three, part of a thin 0.5 goals per away match since March. Beşiktaş are the likely winners, though 1.29 is thinner than the case for them warrants. The value sits with both teams to score: No at 1.67 and the same in the first half at 1.15.

Context

Beşiktaş's first game after the international break opens a month in which they also travel to Hoffenheim on 15 October and to Trabzonspor on 19 October, so having a senior centre-forward available changes how much the front line can be turned over. Vlahović spent part of the window working indoors and has only recently rejoined full sessions, so he is available rather than certain to start, and nothing yet sets out how many minutes he can carry.
- Dušan Vlahović did not go away with Serbia in the October window and continued his recovery with Beşiktaş in Istanbul.
- Vlahović worked apart indoors earlier in October and was back in full training with the squad by 8 October, with his condition described as good.

Kökçü returning restores Beşiktaş's captain and a senior midfield option for the first league game after the break, in the same week the squad gets its attacking players back. The booking count is the complication: a card at home to Kocaelispor would rule him out of the Trabzonspor trip on 19 October, which gives the coaching staff a reason to manage how long he plays. The toe problem is recent, so training status is a better guide than a firm expectation of a full appearance.
- Orkun Kökçü has returned to full training with Beşiktaş and is available for the Kocaelispor match.
- Kökçü is listed with a toe injury since 28 September and with three yellow cards in six league appearances.

A wide attacker returning matters because Beşiktaş play again away to Hoffenheim and Trabzonspor inside the following ten days, and because the squad was rearranged in the wide areas while he and Vlahović were out. The minutes he took with Belgium were short, so the choice between starting him and using him from the bench is open rather than settled.
- Leandro Trossard sat out Beşiktaş's last Süper Lig match before the break and played about 18-20 minutes for Belgium during it.
- Trossard has rejoined squad training with Beşiktaş and is available for the Kocaelispor match.
ReportedSources checked 9 Oct 2026, 02:46 · Europe/Bucharest
With Vlahović and Trossard only just back, losing a further senior attacking option narrows what Beşiktaş can change at the front of a month that contains eight matches. The four-week figure is an estimate of a spell on the sidelines rather than a fixed return date, and it takes him past the Trabzonspor game and on towards the November window.
- Milot Rashica is expected to be out for roughly one month with the injury that has kept him out since early October.
- Rashica is listed with a hamstring strain from 4 October.
