Gençlerbirliği - İstanbul Başakşehir betting tips and odds

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Gençlerbirliği fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against İstanbul Başakşehir would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 1.88 betting odds to win, İstanbul Başakşehir have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

Gençlerbirliği are here after an exciting clash against Gazişehir Gaziantep in the previous round. The balance of power was heavily against Gençlerbirliği, the visiting team, yet they managed to hold on to a lead in the first half. However, they lost all momentum in the second half, which ended in a narrow 2:1 defeat.

İstanbul Başakşehir’s latest Super Lig match ended in disappointment. A draw against Konyaspor doesn’t sound too bad on paper, but we have to remember that top online bookies considered them favourites at odds of 2.16. Besides, it was a home game for them.

The season is already in its latter stages, which is becoming a big problem for Gençlerbirliği. They’re still in the relegation zone and are going into a difficult fight, so their chances of moving up are getting smaller with each passing round.

The closer the end of the season is, the closer İstanbul Başakşehir are to relegation. They’ll need another 0 points to breathe a sigh of relief, and they may not get as good of an opportunity as their clash with Gençlerbirliği even though it’s an away game.

The two squads already met this season in the Super Lig. As expected, İstanbul Başakşehir took the win, though the match was a bit close. Either way, Gençlerbirliği have no history of beating the odds in this particular matchup.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Edin Višća, Fredrik Gulbrandsen, Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo, Nacer Chadli, Léo Duarte due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Zargo Touré, Giovanni Sio, Bogdan Stancu have also reported injuries.

Our advice is to go for an Under 2.5 Goals market, though it was likely not your first instinct. While the probability is rather low compared to what you’re used to from Under 2.5 bets, it compares favourably to the 1.91 odds offered by Betway.
