Command Analysis

Galatasaray

Current form

Galatasaray is usually first in the Super League. In nine matches played, Okan Buruk team has 25 points and is three points ahead of second-placed Samsunspor. A victory today will significantly strengthen their position. It should be noted that since the beginning of the season, the Lions have not suffered a single defeat in the championship. The only misfire happened two rounds ago, when they drew 3:3 with Kasimpasa at home. Last week, Galatasaray played a third-round match in the Europa League against Swedish Elfsborg and won with a score of 4:3. In the overall standings of the second most important European Cup tournament, the team is in fifth place with seven points.

Four of Galatasaray previous five matches have seen more than two goals scored

Approximate lineup : Muslera - Ayhan, Sanchez, Bardachi, Elert - Akgün, Torreira, Sara, Yilmaz - Icardi, Osimhen.

Besiktas

Current form

Besiktas, like their upcoming opponent, are unbeaten in the Super League. True, they have tied twice, hence the fourth intermediate place in the table with 20 points. It is impossible not to notice that Giovanni van Bronckhorst charges often achieve success due to reliable actions in defense. The "black and whites" have conceded only five goals, which is the best result in the championship. In the last round, Besiktas, in its usual style, won Konyaspor with a "dry" score of 2:0. In the Europa League last week, they managed to achieve a sensational away victory with a minimum score of 1:0 over Lyon. With three points in this tournament, the Turkish team currently occupies 27th place.

Disqualifications and injuries

Due to injuries, Gunok, Yusal, Rashica and Paulista will not be able to take to the field today.

Interesting trends for betting

Besiktas have won their last three games with a clean sheet
Besiktas have not lost in the first half in four of their previous five matches

Tentative lineup : Destanoglu - Svensson, Uduohai, Topchu, Masuaku - Fernandes, Ndour - Joao Mario, Rafa Silva, Muchi - Immobile.

Tip and bets

TipGalatasaray victory

1.85

In the last head-to-head meeting in the battle for the Super Cup, Besiktas dealt their archrival a crushing 5:0 defeat. It is obvious that today the hosts will be highly motivated to take revenge. We think that Galatasaray will be able to do this. After all, both teams have difficult matches in the Europa League behind them, and the “black and whites” do not have many opportunities for rotation, as there are problems with injured players. We believe that it is worth betting on the victory of the “lions” in the Istanbul derby this time.

Our prediction is Galatasaray victory with odds of 1.85

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal under 3.5 goals

1.61

Bet on total

It is clear that Besiktas will try to play in its usual manner today, with an emphasis on defense. Face-to-face matches are not often characterized by high scoring. Thus, in the last 10 derbies, more than three goals were scored only three times. It is unlikely that the upcoming game will be too bright in terms of goals scored.

The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.61

Bet on the first half

Let pay attention to the fact that Galatasaray confidently plays the opening periods of matches, while in the second 45 minutes they often allow themselves to misfire. In the five previous matches in all tournaments, the "lions" won in the first half, which is what we expect today.

Prediction: Galatasaray win in the first half with odds of 2.24
