Galatasaray vs Besiktas – Top Predictions & Betting Tips

Galatasaray’s small winning streak in the Turkish league came to an end following a 2-0 loss at the hands of Konyaspor. In the midweek Europa League action, however, Galatasaray picked up a goalless draw with Barcelona in the first leg match. Besiktas do not have European action and the team were held to a 2-2 draw by Istanbul Basaksehir during the weekend.

The odds presented here are always subject to change. One should check with the bookmaker before placing the bet. These odds from Ladbrokes were correct at the time of writing. Ladbrokes are our recommended bookmaker for the big game.

Draw

Besiktas dropped more points in the league following the draw with Istanbul Basaksehir. Even though Besiktas have done well to pull back from losing positions in recent weeks, they do not have the momentum to convert draws into wins. Despite losing to Konyaspor, Galatasaray quickly recovered to produce a strong performance against Barcelona. This will provide a huge deal of belief to Domenec Torrent’s team.

Total goals under 2.5

There have been over 2.5 goals in the last two matches between Besiktas and Galatasaray. However, the two teams have more likely to cancel out each other in this game, which is likely to be a very tight contest. Both teams have had an almost identical form of late.

Both teams to score – yes

Besiktas might have picked just two wins in the last 10 away matches, but they have scored in each of the last five trips. Galatasaray are yet to rediscover the scoring confidence after failing to get a goal in back-to-back matches. However, Besiktas do not have the greatest defence in the league with an average of a goal per game conceded in the last six matches.
