Head-to-head statistics Besiktas - Istanbul Basaksehir
Beşiktaş are let down by their defense.
Beşiktaş drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace at home in their last Europa League match 22 October 2026. They led 1-0 at half-time and had 59% possession, but were outshot 5-8; Beşiktaş also had a man sent off.

Over their last ten matches they have won six, drawn one and lost three, which points to a decent start to the season.

Match Results: Besiktas Istanbul
Istanbul struggle on the road.
İstanbul Başakşehir's previous Super Lig match on 18 October 2026 saw them beat Gaziantep at home 2-1. With possession roughly equal, the hosts had the better of the shots on target - 6 to 4 - though the expected goals figures were close: 1.73 against 1.58.
İstanbul Başakşehir have been less consistent: just three wins and four defeats in their last ten matches, averaging 1.3 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per game. In their last five league fixtures they have two wins, one draw and two defeats - a pattern of alternating runs with no clear trend in either direction. Their motivation in the table is limited by an eight-point gap to the target zone. Away from home, they have gone three matches in a row without a win.

Latest news
Besiktas Istanbul
In the last round of European competition, Fabio Miretti picked up an injury. He is out for at least one month. There is some positive news, though: Václav Černý has returned to the starting line-up.
Istanbul Basaksehir
Edin Višća returned to the pitch last matchday after a lengthy absence. He is unlikely to start, but he is a useful option off the bench for the visitors. Defenders Christopher Operi and Jerome Opoku remain in the treatment room.
Prediction for the 1st half
Beşiktaş have won the first half in 8 of their last 9 home matches, which is a well-established trend. Given their strong home record and first-half scoring, a bet on Beşiktaş to win the first half at 1.77* looks justified.
Match Result Prediction
Beşiktaş have been strong at home, winning 8 of their last 9 home matches, and this season they have won all 4 of their home games without a draw or defeat. İstanbul Başakşehir, meanwhile, have no away wins this season. Taking these factors into account, the most justified bet is a Beşiktaş win at odds of 1.37*.
Total Goals Prediction
In 8 of Beşiktaş's last 9 matches, the total goals have gone over 2.5, which supports the trend. Beşiktaş's average home scoring rate this season is 3 goals per game, and 3.4 goals per game across their last 10 home matches. İstanbul Başakşehir concede an average of 2.33 goals per away game. These figures support a bet on Total Goals - Over 2.5 at odds of 1.42*.
Corners Prediction
Beşiktaş have earned more than 6.5 corners in 6 of their last 7 matches, which supports the trend. Taking into account the team's attacking statistics at home and their high scoring rate, there are grounds to expect activity around the opposition's goal in this regard as well. The bet on Beşiktaş Team Corners - Over 6.5 at odds of 1.91* therefore looks justified.
High-Risk Bet
Beşiktaş have been putting in strong results at home and regularly winning by more than one goal. They have won 8 of their last 9 home matches, with an average of 3 goals per game. However, the (-2) handicap requires a very convincing victory, and Başakşehir do not concede heavily all that often. For that reason, the bet on Beşiktaş Handicap (-2) at odds of 2.50* is the riskier option, though it does have some basis given the hosts' current form.
Safer Bet
Beşiktaş have scored more than 1.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches, which supports the trend. They also average 3 goals per home match this season and 3.4 across their last 10 home games. That makes Beşiktaş Team Total - Over 1.5 at 1.33* a reliable selection.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm, the most likely scorelines are 2:0 (10.9%), 2:1 (9.6%) and 1:0 (9.03%). The 2:0 result stands out as the most probable of the top three, but the differences between them are small, which suggests the match could be competitive.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.*
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Given the general nature of Beşiktaş's play - high scoring combined with regular defensive errors - a clean sheet against an inconsistent opponent seems unlikely. The trend backs this up: the hosts almost always allow the opposition to find the net, with İstanbul Başakşehir having scored at least one goal against virtually every Beşiktaş opponent in their recent meetings this season, regardless of their own form or league position. The editor's main prediction is İstanbul Başakşehir Team Total - Over 0.5 goals.
Will this prediction come true?
