Inter Turku vs Istanbul Basaksehir Prediction 30 July 2026
🔊 Against all expectations, the first leg in Istanbul didn't turn the Conference League tie between Inter Turku and Başakşehir into a formality. The Finnish club has already made history - advancing past a European round for the first time - and now, at home, they're looking to push the run even further. Başakşehir remain favourites, but after the first leg, the gap looks a lot smaller than it did.
Head-to-Head
📊 The only previous meeting between these two sides ended 1-1. Clinton Jeptha and Emin Bayram got the goals.
Head-to-head statistics Inter Turku - Istanbul Basaksehir
Inter Turku Team Overview
The Finnish club has already exceeded expectations. But after the draw in Istanbul, Vesa Vasara's side ended a 17-match unbeaten run by losing to Gnistan (1:2) in the Finnish league. The focus is clearly on keeping the European run going. The head coach said his players need to be more aggressive in the second leg. That said, an open approach could cause problems - Inter concede in the first half in 5 of their last 6 home matches.
The key figure in attack is 19-year-old Clinton Jepta, who scored not only in the first leg against Başakşehir but also against Sarajevo (2:1) in the first qualifying round of the Conference League. The Nigerian is in fine form, though he played 85 minutes in the recent league match.
Match Results: Inter Turku
Istanbul Basaksehir Team Overview
The Turkish giants underdelivered in the first leg, drawing at home despite dominating statistically - they had twice as many shots as their opponents (24-12). Eldor Shomurodov hit the post and missed several other chances, so he'll be desperate to get off the mark for the new season in the return leg.
Manager Nuri Şahin admitted his side were sloppy defensively, particularly for the goal they conceded, but said he's confident they'll go through. That confidence gets a boost from the return of defender Christopher Operi, who has served his suspension - and Başakşehir's fresher legs don't hurt either.
