Fenerbahçe - Beşiktaş predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Fenerbahçe winning is by far the most likely outcome.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Fenerbahçe and the fact that Beşiktaş are given 6.78 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Beşiktaş victory would be a shocking surprise.

The draw we saw in Fenerbahçe’s previous Super Lig match against Sivasspor was still a fairly big upset. Most bookmakers and tipsters predicted that they would easily snatch a victory despite the home-field disadvantage – especially after they took the lead in the first half.

Beşiktaş’s performance was quite impressive in their latest game against Ankaragücü. The 2:0 victory itself may have been predictable considering they were the hosts in a favourable matchup, but the overwhelming success which they achieved it is worth noting.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

The hosts’ hopes of a Super Lig title this season seem hard to make real with so few opportunities to earn points left. They should be able to take 3 this Saturday, though, and a spot in the Champions League seems all but assured.

With the odds for an away win set at 6.78, it’s hard to expect Beşiktaş to earn any points in Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Spor Kompleksi. On the other hand, it doesn’t matter all that much. The season is almost over and they would need to move up 4 points to snatch a Europa League qualification.

Fenerbahçe played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Saturday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Mert Günok, Semih Kılıçsoy, Onur Bulut, Amir Hadžiahmetović, Omar Colley, Arthur Masuaku, Ante Rebić, Baktiyar Zaynutdinov, Tayfur Bingöl. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.50 odds offered at Betway.
