Turkish Super Lig's second week will start Friday evening with Besiktas playing against Kasimpasa in an away match.
Black Eagles will look to grab another three points at the Recep Tayyip Erdogan Stadium; the match will start at 9.45 p.m. (1845 GMT).
Last week, reigning champions Besiktas 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 Osmanlispor on Saturday.
Last year's runners-up, Basaksehir will take on Karabukspor on Saturday in an away match. Basaksehir started the league with three points as well.
The most anticipated match of the week will be played on Sunday evening, when Fenerbahce will square off against Trabzonspor.
Fenerbahce, 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 Yilmaz.
