LiontipsBasaksehir vs Besiktas. Prediction and bets on the Turkish Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Last season, Basaksehir only finished fourth in the Turkish Super League, so they had to go through a long selection process to get into the Conference League. The Istanbul team managed to get past San Marino La Fiorita (6:1 and 4:0), Georgia Iberia 1999 (1:0 and 2:0) and Ireland St. Patrick Athletic (0:0 and 2:0). The hosts started the main stage with an unexpected 1:2 defeat to Vienna Rapid. In the second round, the club suffered a complete rout from Slovenia Celje (1:5). In the third match, they also failed to open their scoring - only a draw with Copenhagen (2:2).
In the Turkish championship, Basaksehir is performing even worse than last season - only eighth place in the table. In the last matches, the capital team lost to Konyaspor (2:3) and Trabzonspor (0:1), and also played a draw with Kayserispor (1:1) and Eyupspor (1:1), which are clearly inferior in class.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no losses ahead of the match against Besiktas.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not won for seven matches in a row.
- The hosts have scored one goal in each of their last three home matches
Approximate lineup : Dilmen - Kemen, Opoku, Ba, Ergun - Figueiredo, Ozdemir, Crespo - Gurler, Pentek, Turuch.
Current form
Besiktas have just secured their second consecutive win in the Europa League, beating Malmo 2-1 at home. Before that, they managed to win a rather unexpected victory over Lyon 1-0. The successful results allowed the visitors to rise to the playoff zone. In the Turkish Super League, the visitors are also performing better than their opponents, occupying the fifth line. The Black and Whites could have been higher, but in their last two matches, the club suffered defeats from Galatasaray (1-2) and Kasimpasa (1-3). If the away defeat from the championship leader is understandable, then the Istanbul team was obliged to beat the league mid-table team, Kasimpasa, on their home field. The team coach, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, hopes that this was just a one-time glitch.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visiting team has many injured players. Ciro Immobile, Milot Rashica, Necip Uysal and Gabriel Paulista will not play for the team due to injuries. Emirhan Topcu will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the last five matches of the visitors ended in a draw
- The team has scored in each of its last eight matches
Probable line-up : Gunok - Svensson, Sanuch, Udoahai, Masuaku - Ndour, Fernandes - Joao Mario, Muci, Kılıçsoy - Rafa Silva.

11.00Tip and bets
The hosts need to find their game, otherwise the gap to the leaders may become too big. A victory over one of the direct competitors can restore the club confidence in its strength and now is a great opportunity for a small sensation. The visitors have lost two championship matches in a row and have lost several important players. We believe that Basaksehir can take advantage of the opponent problems.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Basaksehir for 2.20
Bet on total
It is clear from the last matches that the hosts have huge problems with the defensive line, so all that remains is to bet on the attack. The guests are also far from perfect in the game at their goal and often make mistakes. We believe that it is the attack that will decide the outcome of this match, so we are betting on a large number of goals scored.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.85
Bet on corners
We think that the teams will play on opposite courses and will certainly earn a lot of corner kicks during this match.
Forecast - total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.90
