Besiktas vs Alanyaspor Predictions and Betting Tips | December 21st 2024

Besiktas will host Alanyaspor at Tupras Stadium on Saturday evening in the 17th round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts will be desperate to return to winning ways in a bid to bounce back from an underwhelming first half of the season that led to the sacking of head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst after just five months in charge.

Besiktas' disappointing 2-1 defeat to Adana DS last weekend was yet another show of their poor form as they gifted the bottom-placed side their first league win of the season. Interim manager Serdar Topraktepe picked up a surprise win over Fenerbahce in his second game in charge but failed to build on it last weekend and will be keen to remedy that when they host Alanyaspor on Saturday.

Alanyaspor picked up only their fourth league win of the season with a dominant 3-0 win over Gaziantep last time out. The visitors currently sit in 14th place, just two points clear of the relegation zone, having had a rough start to the season. But they are now gathering momentum with two wins and a draw in four league games under new manager Sami Ugurlu.

Besiktas vs Alanyaspor Prediction

The Black Eagles are favorites heading into the weekend, although they will need to be at their best to avoid dropping points. Their good league home form of five wins in seven will, however, give them a slight edge over the visitors.

Alanyaspor possess less quality in attack than the hosts but will hope their recent form under a new manager will be enough to at least earn them a draw. They have, however, won just once on the road since the start of May and could lose here.

Prediction: Besiktas 2-1 Alanyaspor
