Antalyaspor - İstanbul Başakşehir predictions

Antalyaspor have their work cut out for them if they want to beat İstanbul Başakşehir. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

İstanbul Başakşehir are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Antalyaspor are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

Antalyaspor are coming on the back of great success in their latest away game. Despite all the odds, they grabbed an early lead against Hatayspor and turned it into a surprise 2:3 victory.

İstanbul Başakşehir are here after a striking performance against Samsunspor last round. Playing in front of their fans on their home turf, they established dominance in the first 45 minutes and turned it into a convincing 4:0 win.

Antalyaspor can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 8 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

As far as the head-to-head history goes, this is the second time we’ll be seeing these two squads clash this season. İstanbul Başakşehir decisively won that first match, and they’re still seen as the favourites despite playing as the away team.

On top of being considered underdogs, the home team is forced to play with a limited roster. With Emre Uzun, Erdoğan Yeşilyurt, Soner Dikmen, Burak İngenç, Deni Milošević all unavailable due to injury, they have very limited means at their disposal to beat the odds.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.85 at Pncl.
