Bronckhorst’s Lineup Overhaul After Besiktas’s Defeat to Ajax

Besiktas are looking to bounce back after a tough 4-0 defeat to Ajax in their UEFA Europa League opener. Following the drubbing in Amsterdam, head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst is preparing to shake up the starting lineup for their upcoming clash against Kayserispor.

According to Fanatik, van Bronckhorst is planning to start Semih Kılıçsoy on the left wing, giving the young talent a chance to prove himself. Meanwhile, Ciro Immobile is set to lead the attack in the forward role.

The Midfield Shake-Up

In the middle of the park, Besiktas are set to revert to a trusted midfield trio of Musrati, Gedson, and Rafa Silva—a formation they’ve been unbeaten with this season. After a poor performance against Ajax, Onana is expected to be dropped to the bench, making way for a more solid setup.

With these adjustments, van Bronckhorst hopes to reinvigorate the Black-Whites and get back to winning ways in the Turkish Süper Lig.
