Besiktas and Bodrum will battle for three points in a Turkish Super Lig matchday 19 clash on Saturday (January 11th). The game will be played at Tupras Stadium.

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 away win over Sivasspor in the Turkish Cup. Rafa Silva's 20th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.

Bodrums, meanwhile, shared the spoils in an eight-goal thriller away to Kirklarelispor in the Turkish Cup. Okan Derici scored a first half hat-trick for the hosts while Ogulcan Basol scored a brace and Gokdeniz Bayreakdar scored one goal to ensure the game was level at the break. Eray Karatas and Celai Dumanli scored a goal each in the second half to make sure the two sides shared the spoils in a 4-4 draw.

Volkan Demirel's side will turn their focus to the league where their last game saw them held to a 1-1 draw at home to Kayserispor. Besiktas also played out a 1-1 draw away to Rizespor.

The stalemate left the Black Eagles in sixth spot in the standings, having garnered 27 points from 17 games. Bodrumspor are 17th on 15 points.

Besiktas vs Bodrum Prediction

Besiktas ended their four-game winless run across competitions with their cup victory but Serdar Topraktepe's side will be aiming to register their first league win since early December 2024. Their games have tended to be expansive, with both sides tending to find the back of the net.

Bodrum are competing in the Super Lig for the first time in their history following their playoff final victory over Sakaryaspor last season. They are four points away from safety.

We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
