Besiktas vs Eyupspor Prediction 16 August 2026
🔊 Beşiktaş are starting the season with ambitions, but just four days later the team face a crucial Europa League qualifying play-off match against Kauno Žalgiris. This puts its mark on their preparation for the opening round of the Süper Lig. Eyüpspor survived relegation last season, but are already hoping to pick up points against the favourites at the start of the new campaign.

Head-to-head statistics Besiktas - Eyupspor
Besiktas Istanbul Team Overview
Last season the team finished fourth with 17 wins and a goal difference of 59:40. In the Europa League qualifiers, Beşiktaş beat Midtjylland and Hradec Králové, and in the play-off they are set to play Kauno Žalgiris. In the transfer window the club strengthened with Leandro Trossard, who has already made his Europa League debut, playing 30 minutes.
On 13 August the club announced the transfer of Dušan Vlahović from Juventus, which will create strong competition in attack. However, ahead of the match against Eyüpspor the team may conserve energy before the decisive European tie. In the Super Lig match Trossard could start, but it is possible the manager will rest key players to approach the game against the Lithuanians in the best possible shape.

Eyupspor Team Overview
Last season Eyüpspor narrowly avoided relegation, finishing 15th with 33 points - one point ahead of Antalyaspor. Across 34 rounds of that campaign, the team managed just 8 wins against 17 defeats, with a goal difference of 33:48. A strong finish helped them stay up: they went unbeaten in their last five league matches, although that run came after five consecutive defeats.
There is no reason to expect better results this time around: in pre-season friendlies they recorded two wins, two draws and one defeat. The club's reinforcements were limited to free agents - Abdelhamid Sabiri, Konrad Michalak and Met Demir.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Beşiktaş may save energy ahead of decisive Europa League matches, which gives the visitors a chance to pick up points or at least avoid a heavy defeat. Last season Eyüpspor lost to Beşiktaş away (1:2), and there is a consistent trend in the teams' results - the visitors have not lost by more than one goal in 11 of their last 12 Süper Lig meetings. Given the hosts' European schedule and the visitors' motivation, a thrashing is unlikely. We go with Eyüpspor to win with a handicap (+1.5). Predicted score - 2:1.
