The Turkish Super Lig provides us with a bottom half clash between Besiktas and Basaksehir as the betting tips continue at Vodafone Park in Istanbul for this Monday night’s local derby.
Besiktas Prediction – Can Dundalk win 8 on the trot?
14th placed Besiktas will no doubt be relieved to be returning to their Vodafone Park for this local clash with Basaksehir as the hosts have lost their last 4 away matches on the trot overall in the Turkish top flight, and having suffered their most recent loss at Gaziantepspor a couple of weeks ago, Besiktas will be keen to return to winning ways here.
Recent overall results have produced a mixed return for Besiktas following defeats at Sivasspor and the aforementioned defeat at Gaziantepspor, but the hosts have also captured wins at home against Kasimpasa and Goztepe in recent times too.
Indeed, while results away from home have seen a sharp decline, the results on home turf at Vodafone Park have been impressive as the hosts have put together a solid 13-match sequence without defeat which includes winning 7 of their last 8 at home in the Super Lig.
In addition, Besiktas have held the upper hand over Basaksehir at home in previous exchanges as the hosts are unbeaten in their last 9 meetings in all competitions.
Basaksehir Prediction – Can Shamrock Rovers stay the pace?
Basaksehir make the short trip to Vodafone Park to face Istanbul rivals, Besiktas, finding themselves placed in the bottom three of the domestic top flight, although a win on Monday night would see the visitors jump up into an early mid-table position.
The visitors have managed to record just the one win so far in the early stages of this new Turkish top flight season which was a 2-1 victory at Genclerbirligi, but previous back-to-back defeats to Malatyaspor and Fenerbahce have dumped Basaksehir into the early relegation zone of the Turkish Super Lig.
The recent win at Genclerbirligi ended a sequence of 5 away matches without a win in the Super Liga but included defeats at Besiktas, Galatasaray and Malatyaspor too, so it’s anyone’s guess as to which Besiktas outfit will turn up on Monday night at Vodafone Park.
Their last 6 matches away from home have resulted in Basaksehir keeping just 1 clean sheet, while conceding 2 goals or more in 3 of these last 6 on their travels too.
Key-Facts – Besiktas v Basaksehir
- Besiktas are unbeaten in their last 13 matches at home in the Super Lig
- Basaksehir have won just 1 of their last 6 away matches in the Super Lig
- Besiktas are unbeaten in their last 9 home matches against Basaksehir
Betting Tips Verdict
Besiktas with home advantage and a solid previous record against Basaksehir should at least avoid defeat here.
