Turkish Super Lig's second week will start Friday evening with Beşiktaş playing against Kasımpaşa in an away match.

Black Eagles will look to grab another three points at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium; the match will start at 9.45 p.m. (1845 GMT).

Last week, reigning champions Beşiktaş won the opening match against Antalyaspor 2-0, making a decent start to the campaign.

In other matches of the week, Galatasaray -- coming off a 4-1 victory against Kayserispor -- will look to bag another three points against Osmanlıspor on Saturday.

Last year's runners-up, Başakşehir will take on Karabükspor on Saturday in an away match. Başakşehir started the league with three points as well.

The most anticipated match of the week will be played on Sunday evening, when Fenerbahçe will square off against Trabzonspor.

Fenerbahçe, who drew against Goztepe 2-2 in the opening week and lost against FK Vardar in their UEFA Europa League playoff round first leg match, will look to bounce back on their home turf against Trabzonspor.

Trabzonspor won their match against Konyaspor 2-1 last week, with two goals from their new signing Burak Yılmaz.
