Istanbul Basaksehir vs Besiktas Prediction and Betting Tips | November 10th 2024

Istanbul Basaksehir will host Besiktas at the Başakşehir Fatih Terim on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts go into this game eager to put an end to their abysmal run of seven winless games in all competitions while the visitors will be looking to bounce back from consecutive league losses.

Cagdas Atan’s Basaksehir side started the league campaign brightly with four wins and one draw in their opening six games. However, they seem to have lost the plot in recent weeks, dropping points in their last four games despite three of their opponents being below them in the league standings. Their most recent league game ended in a 3-2 loss away to Konyaspor courtesy of Alassane Ndao's hat-trick, and they will be desperate to return to winning ways before the international break.

Besiktas have experienced similar form, going unbeaten in their opening eight league games with six wins before losing their last two. Their 2-1 loss to unbeaten league leaders Galatasaray in the 10th round seemed perhaps unavoidable, but was followed by an underwhelming 3-1 defeat to Kasimpasa last weekend which marked their first league home loss since March.

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Besiktas Prediction

İstanbul Basaksehir will be looking to get back to winning ways as anything short of that would see pressure begin to mount on head coach, Cagdas Atan. They are, however, winless in their last three home games and have a stern test this weekend.

Besiktas are on a run of back-to-back league defeats and have won just one of their last four in the competition. However, they have been the better side in this fixture of late and should have enough to avoid defeat here.

Prediction: İstanbul Basaksehir 1-1 Besiktas
