Beşiktaş achieved an epic 4-3 win over Trabzonspor late on April 8, throwing down a gauntlet to its two closest followers, which will clash with each other on April 10. 

Beşiktaş coach Şenol Güneş remains cautious ahead of the Europa League second leg of round of 16 tie with Olympiacos, despite a promising draw in the first game in Greece. 

"Of course we will start the game in a solid manner, not taking many risks," Doğan News Agency quoted Güneş as telling his squad ahead of the March 16 game. 

Başakşehir suffered an unexpected 4-0 loss against Kasımpaşaspor on Feb. 12, making it miss its chance to climb back to the top of the Spor Toto Super League standings and failing to capitalize on its closest rival's loss.

Beşiktaş, which suffered a 2-1 shock defeat at Karabükspor's field on Feb. 10, remained atop the standings, two points ahead of Başakşehir.

Defending champion Beşiktaş returned to the top of the standings in the Spor Toto Super League after beating Aytemiz Alanyaspor, a newcomer to the top tier, 4-1 in the closing game of the 18th week late on Jan 23.
