Beşiktaş - İstanbul Başakşehir predictions

We don’t expect Beşiktaş to have any issues beating İstanbul Başakşehir. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.73 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

It’s highly unlikely that İstanbul Başakşehir will manage to get some points this round. Beşiktaş are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Super Lig betting odds gave Beşiktaş a slight edge in their previous Super Lig game despite the fact they were playing away. The odds didn’t mean much in the end, though: they fell behind early and the goal difference only increased with time, culminating in a painful 2:0 loss.

İstanbul Başakşehir had their work cut out for them as they entered the previous game. The 3.80 odds were somewhat favourable, but most of the advantage can be chalked up to the fact that they were playing at home. The two teams ended up in a deadlock for most of the runtime, and the match ended with a 0:0 draw.

Beşiktaş are fighting hard to stay in the upper half of the Super Lig table, so a win here will be extremely valuable. They seem poised to take it, which might be the start of a fruitful season.

Earning any points in this matchup will be quite difficult for İstanbul Başakşehir. Most online bookmakers consider them clear underdogs, with prices for an away win sitting at 4.73. However, they’ll definitely want to try their best and put some more distance between them and the relegation zone before it’s too late.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, but one head-to-head records tell a slightly different story. They suffered a harsh defeat by İstanbul Başakşehir in the previous season, so their position as favourites is not as sound as it might seem.

Sunday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.82 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
