Istanbul Basaksehir vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

Istanbul Basaksehir host Burnley in this third qualifying round first leg game in the Europa League. The winners take on Vitesse or Basel in the play-off round and neither of those sides will be easy to beat. The Turkish team finished third in the Turkish Super League last season and only three points off the leaders. Their home form is impressive with just two losses in their last 47 games with just one league defeat at home last season as they earned 42 points out of 51. They are unbeaten in their last three home Europa League games and last season beat Braga and drew with Hoffenheim.

Burnley fans finally get a more glamorous away game after having to travel to Aberdeen in their last game. They struggled to get past the Scottish side and it took extra-time for them to get through on a 4-2 aggregate. This is going to be tougher and they will be looking to come away with a result that keeps them in the tie.  Since their win over Aberdeen, they lost a home friendly to Espanyol 3-0 and will need to improve on that kind of performance. A bet on a home win should produce a profit.
