Head-to-head statistics Besiktas - Genclerbirligi
One step away from the European places
Besiktas lost 3-2 away to Celtic in their last Europa League match on 5 November 2026. The visitors had more shots, 15-10, and were well ahead on xG, 2.36 to 0.9, but Celtic had more shots on target, 6-4.
Besiktas have had mixed results in their last five matches: two wins, two defeats and a draw. Over their last ten matches, they have won five, drawn two and lost three. Their averages of 2.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded per game over that spell point to strong attacking potential, but also show that they are not always reliable at the back. BeΕiktaΕ have scored an average of 2 goals per match this season, although the trend in recent weeks shows that they have often scored no more than 2.5 goals. Their objective is to remain among the leaders and close the gap to the Champions League places, but at this stage of the season they cannot afford to relax.

Latest news
Besiktas
Besiktas have almost a full-strength squad. Their only absentee is Italian midfielder Fabio Miretti, who is still recovering from injury and is unlikely to play.
Genclerbirligi
The main selection concern is the serious injury to centre-back Dimitrios Goutas, who tore his cruciate ligaments and is out for the rest of the season.
Prediction for the 1st half
Besiktas have scored in the first half in 10 of their last 11 home matches. This is a clear, sustained trend supporting the selected bet; the data provided do not include separate first-half goals statistics. The pick is Besiktas First-Half Team Total Goals - Over 0.5 at odds of 1.33*.
Match Result Prediction
Besiktas have won all 5 of their home matches this season, while Genclerbirligi have lost 3 of their 4 away matches. The hosts have averaged 2.8 goals per home match this season, while the visitors have conceded 2.75 per away match. However, Genclerbirligi have covered the +2.5 handicap in 13 of their last 15 matches, so a big win for the hosts is far from certain. The pick is Besiktas - Handicap -1.5 at odds of 1.58*.
Total Goals Prediction
Total Goals - Over 2.5 has landed in 6 of Besiktasβs last 7 home matches. The hosts have averaged 2.8 goals at home this season, while Genclerbirligi have conceded 2.75 per away match. However, 17 of the last 18 head-to-head matches have had fewer than 3.5 goals. This limits expectations of a higher-scoring game but does not rule out three goals. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5 at odds of 1.38*.
Corners Prediction
Genclerbirligi have taken more than 2.5 corners in 10 consecutive matches. The trend relates specifically to the away sideβs team total; no recent corner averages are available in the input data. The pick is Genclerbirligi Team Total Corners - Over 2.5 at odds of 1.54*.
Both Teams to Score Prediction
Genclerbirligi have scored an average of 0.25 goals per away match this season; the same figure is given for their recent away matches. Besiktas have conceded an average of 0.6 goals per home match this season and 0.8 in their recent home matches. These figures primarily cast doubt on the visitors scoring. The suggested bet is Both Teams to Score - No at odds of 1.88*.
Safer Bet
Besiktas have won 9 of their last 10 home matches. This season, the hosts have won all 5 of their home matches, while GenΓ§lerbirliΔi have lost 3 of their 4 away matches. These results support a home win without requiring a big margin. The bet is Besiktas to win at odds of 1.21*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the probability distribution provided, three scorelines made the top three: 1:0 (14.56%), 2:0 (13.64%) and 3:0 (9.71%). Of these, 1:0 has the highest probability.
*The odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.
β Editor's Prediction
Besiktas's form suggests they can dominate the match, but recent statistics and a consistent trend show that they have scored more than 2.5 goals just twice in 14 rounds. Even with a clear advantage in squad strength, the hosts rarely win by a large margin. Genclerbirligi can hold their own against strong opponents - in 13 of their last 15 matches, they have not lost by more than two goals. The visitors' high motivation further reduces the likelihood of a heavy defeat. The main prediction is Besiktas - Handicap -1.5.
