Kasımpaşa - İstanbul Başakşehir predictions

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Kasımpaşa on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

The visiting team knows that beating Kasımpaşa on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

The home side is eager to bounce back from the latest Super Lig disappointment. Kasımpaşa suffered a disappointing Samsunspor away defeat last time out and will be keen to bounce back asap. This match exposed all of their weaknesses right from the start and they need to avoid the same thing happening on Saturday.

İstanbul Başakşehir defeated Hatayspor in the previous round with a narrow 1:0 goal difference and a lead at both halftime and the final whistle. To be frank, this outcome wasn’t much of a surprise – top online bookmakers clearly favoured İstanbul Başakşehir who also had the advantage of playing at home.

Kasımpaşa’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 8 goals throughout their latest three Super Lig matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from İstanbul Başakşehir in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

On one hand, the hosts will not have an easy time of snatching 3 points away from İstanbul Başakşehir. On the other, only around half the season is over, meaning there’s a lot of time left to earn the 5 points needed to get a qualification to the Europa League.

While there’s no cause of alarm quite yet, İstanbul Başakşehir have been recording disappointing results so far in the season. They’ll definitely want to wrestle away some points in Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu, even though it’s looking to be a difficult matchup.

The away win recorded several decisive victories against Kasımpaşa last season. To make things even more interesting, none of these games was even a close call and all were secured with a considerable goal difference. It appears bookies are still adamant that Kasımpaşa are more likely to win this match, though.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Efe Arda Koyuncu, Patryk Szysz, Muhammed Şengezer, Emmanuel Dennis are the players that will be missing, which makes the İstanbul Başakşehir lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 2.45 odds are great value.
