İstanbulspor - Beşiktaş predictions

The game is heavily lopsided in the visitors’ favour – for instance, most bookies are offering 6.17 odds on a home win. The hosts are no doubt in a difficult situation and don’t have much hope of overcoming Beşiktaş.

The odds are clearly leaning in the away team’s favour, though the difference is by no means insurmountable. İstanbulspor will have to give their all to come out on top, though, while Beşiktaş merely have to make sure not to make major mistakes.

İstanbulspor returned home from their previous Super Lig trip with a huge point in the bag. They went behind after the first 45 minutes but pulled no punches after the break to earn a much deserved – and completely surprising - Antalyaspor draw.

Super Lig betting odds pointed to Beşiktaş as the clear favourites in their previous Super Lig game, with prices at top online bookmakers hovering around 6.37. They did win 2:0 in the end, though it’s worth mentioning that the two teams were still tied at halftime.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Beşiktaş have yet to concede a goal over their 3 previous league matches. With that in mind, we would suggest staying away from Home Win or Both Teams to Score bets.

İstanbulspor are 16 points behind the safety and Sunday brings quite a challenge in their relegation battle. A new defeat would be quite a blow for the hosts who are sitting in 20th but a look at the prices offered by online bookmakers is enough to suspect how this match is likely to pan out.

The Super Lig season is heading into its closing stages and Beşiktaş are attempting to make the most of their current campaign. Currently in 4th, they are heavily priced to earn three points on Sunday and make an important step towards the Champions League finish.

It’s clear that Beşiktaş are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced İstanbulspor earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

Though the visitors are clearly considered favourites, they’ll have some additional hurdles to overcome for this match. Namely, Amir Hadžiahmetović, Salih Uçan, Rachid Ghezzal, Tayfur Bingöl, Jonas Svensson will all be kept from the game due to injury. It’s a precarious position despite the team’s strength and should be kept in mind when looking at the betting odds.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.25. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
