İstanbul Başakşehir - Alanyaspor predictions

Though İstanbul Başakşehir are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The away team’s chances of winning this Sunday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with İstanbul Başakşehir, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

The first half of İstanbul Başakşehir’s previous away match against Fatih Karagümrük was a stalemate, but they pulled far ahead as the game progressed, ending in a decisive 0:2 victory.

Alanyaspor are coming on the back of a 2:2 draw in their latest away game at Fenerbahçe. Considering how one-sided the match-up seemed going in, they can be reasonably happy with such an outcome. They ended the first half ahead too, which is something of an achievement in its own right.

The season is still in its early ages, so İstanbul Başakşehir will have plenty of shots to move up to a UEFA competition qualifying spot. They’ll need 5 points to do so currently, and this showdown looks like a promising start.

Though it’s hard to say Alanyaspor started the season on a strong note, their fairly decent table position is at risk. Beating İstanbul Başakşehir will be no easy task – but it’s a necessary step if they ever wish to reach the Europa qualifying spots.

In terms of head-to-head stats, the closest point of reference right now is from last season when İstanbul Başakşehir walked away with a decisive victory. This is an entirely new campaign but most top online bookies are still expecting the match to end in their favour.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

At the odds of 1.86, the match will likely end in a Home Win. The probability of success is the most important factor here, and all signs are pointing towards a triumph for İstanbul Başakşehir.
