Besiktas vs Alanyaspor Prediction and Betting Tips | December 21st 2023

Besiktas and Alanyaspor return to action following the Turkish Super Lig’s one-week hiatus when they lock horns at the Tupras Stadyumu on Thursday.

The Black Eagles boast a 100% home record against Fatih Tekke’s side and will head into the midweek clash looking to extend this dominant run.

Besiktas bowed out of Europe with their heads held high as they picked up a 2-0 victory over Lugano in the final Group D game of the UEFA Europa Conference League last Thursday.

Prior to that, Riza Calimbay’s men were on a three-match winless run, losing twice with a somewhat disappointing 1-1 league draw against Ankaragucu on December 3 sandwiched between the two defeats.

Benfica now return to action in the Super Lig, where they are currently fifth in the standings, level on 26 points with fourth-placed Trabonspor.

Meanwhile, Alanyaspor picked up successive wins for the first time this season last time out when they scraped a 1-0 victory against Istanbulspor at the Bahçelievler Stadium.

This followed a 1-0 victory over second-tier Kocaelispor on December 5 which saw their four-game winless run come to an end and secured their spot in the fifth round of the Turkish Cup.

While Alanyaspor have endured an underwhelming first half of the season and find themselves in 18th in the league table, they could move out of the danger zone with all three points on Thursday.
