Besiktas Prediction
Besiktas sit in 3rd spot in the Super Lig and therefore occupy one of two Europa League qualifier places in the Turkish top flight, but with just three points separating them from second placed Galatasaray, the hosts will fancy their chances of staking a claim for the Champions League qualifier spot.
The hosts are in impressive form right now too as they’ve captured four wins from their last five matches with victories against Akhisarspor, Antalyaspor, Bursaspor and Yeni Malatyaspor along with a 1-1 draw with Erzurumspor.
On home turf, Besiktas have put together a four match unbeaten run which also includes a 2-0 home win over second placed Galatasaray amidst an overall home record of 6-2-2 19/11 which includes the hosts scoring 2 goals or more in 7 of their 10 home matches to date.
Forwards Pektemek (5 goals) and Ljajic (4 goals) look the most likely to score for the hosts who have scored goals on a regular basis at their Vodafone Stadyumu to date this season.
Key-Facts – Besiktas v Fenerbahce
- Besiktas have won 4 of their last 5 matches in the Super Lig
- Besiktas have scored 2 goals or more in 7 of their 10 home matches
- Fenerbahce have failed to win any of their last 8 away matches
Fenerbahce Prediction
Fenerbahce occupy one of the relegation spots in the Turkish Super Lig as they sit third from bottom as they prepare for the difficult looking trip to Besiktas having had to endure a frustrating campaign in the top flight this term.
Recent results have been mixed for the visitors who have registered wins against Yeni Malatyaspor and Goztepe, but have also fallen to defeats against Kayserispor and Akhisarspor, and it’s worth pointing out that the two victories were both recorded at their Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe ?ükrü Saraco?lu Spor Kompleksi.
Despite losing just twice on home turf this season, it’s been their poor results away from home which has done the damage so far in this campaign as they possess an away record of 1-4-6 5/14 which includes failing to win any of their last eight matches on their travels.
In addition, Fenerbahce have the lowest goalscoring tally away from home in the Super Lig having failed to score in 7 of their 11 away matches so far this season, and they’re sure to be tested against a Besiktas outfit who have hit the back of the net on a regular basis at home this term
Betting Tips Verdict
Besiktas will see this fixture as a great opportunity to grab all three points and make a push for the Champions League qualifier spot, and they should be able to outscore their visitors in this one.
