Besiktas vs Fatih Karagumruk Predictions and Odds
This will be a second friendly match for Besiktas in three days, while their fellow Super Lig rivals Fatih Karagumruk will play their first friendly game after the season was halted for the World Cup.
Over 2.5 Goals
Besiktas beat Istanbulspor 4-0 earlier in the week which is the continuation of their excellent league form, at least when it comes to scoring goals. Both teams play in the Turkish top division, and interestingly they are the top two teams with games that had more than two goals scored. Both had nine of those games out of 13 played.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
In their h2h matches, three out of their last five games ended with both teams scoring at least a goal. Fatih Karagumruk had five games out of their last seven with BTTS, while Besiktas’ streak is at four league matches.
Besiktas to Win
The game will be played at Vodafone Arena which is Besiktas home stadium. Big crowds are not expected, but with Besiktas playing well in their first friendly game, they will get their best lineup at the moment to provide some excitement for the home fans that will attend the match.
Besiktas vs Fatih Karagumruk Preview: Changing the narrative
Besiktas
The Istanbul giant has been playing well this season. Even during the summer, it was known that the club is struggling financially. They barely spent any money, bringing in players on free transfers or as loanees. Those values morphed into an average showing most of the season, and now the team lies at the eighth position in the league. The only positive thing is that they only trail leaders Fenerbahce by seven points. The manager Senol Gunes is in a tough spot, he has some players out at the World Cup, important members of the team like Romain Saiss that plays for Morocco, and Atiba Hutchinson who is ending his Canadian adventure in Qatar, so he will be back soon after getting some needed rest
Fatih Karagumruk
If Besiktas is in trouble than their opponents in this friendly match are in an even bigger proverbial hole. They are dangerously close to the relegation spots they are just above the mark at 15th position. The last four teams will be relegated to the Second Division. It is interesting to notice that Fatih has the top-four attack in the league with 24 goals scored, and, incredibly, they are ranked so low when they are very efficient. But, their problem is in the defense department. They may have the fourth-best attack in the league, but they also have the worst defense in the league. They conceded 27 goals.
