Pendikspor - İstanbul Başakşehir predictions

Pendikspor have their work cut out for them if they want to beat İstanbul Başakşehir. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visitors are fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Pendikspor on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Pendikspor showed some character in their previous Super Lig outing. It was a tough trip to take but they held well. Matter of fact, Pendikspor kept it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes for a Samsunspor draw.

İstanbul Başakşehir won a single point in the previous round thanks to the 1:1 draw at home they secured against Beşiktaş. The fact that they were largely seen as the underdogs means that the outcome is better than it seems at first glance. Especially considering the fact that they were behind at the 45-minute mark.

Pendikspor have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

With just 30 points to their name, Pendikspor are number 19th in the standings. This puts them right on the road to relegation unless they manage to start winning.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Super Lig season. İstanbul Başakşehir won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

The 1.93 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
