Istanbulspor vs Besiktas Prediction

Istanbulspor have struggled throughout the campaign and are odds-on favourites to be relegated to the TFF First League after two seasons in the top flight. The Bulls have won just one of their last 13 league games - losing eight - and have scored just 11 goals in 13 games at home, the lowest in the league.

Besiktas, meanwhile, are some way off the two-team race between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray for top spot. However, the Black Eagles are well-positioned to finish as the 'best of the rest.'

Expect the visitors to claim all three points with a comfortable victory, with goals to be scored at both ends.

Prediction: Istanbulspor 1-3 Besiktas
