Istanbul Basaksehir vs St Patricks Prediction & Betting Tips - Conference League

Prediction published on 26/08/2024, 12:00  by Kennedy Kechula in Conference League Predictions

Irish side St. Patrick’s Athletic looks to protect a seven-match undefeated streak away to Istanbul Basaksehir in the Conference League this Wednesday. The two teams meet in the Play-off round return leg match with the tie currently standing at 0-0. Read on for our preview and prediction.

A draw away from home would be considered positive for Istanbul Basaksehir but the hosts still have work to do. They are yet to lose a game this season and will thus be favorites playing at home.

Basaksehir eliminated La Fiorita and Iberia 1999 in the last two rounds of this competition. Having reached the round of 16 two seasons ago, the Turkish side has more experience in the tournament.

They’ve played 19 Conference League matches in history and only lost twice. In their last four, they kept clean sheets.

St. Patrick’s Athletic have never come this far in the Conference League. Being 90 minutes away from the league phase of the competition should provide enough motivation. After missing a massive chance to take the lead in this tie at home, the visitors will come here as underdogs.

Sabah and Vaduz, the teams they eliminated in the previous two rounds, are much weaker compared to Istanbul Basaksehir. They are unbeaten in the Conference League this season and will want to make it two straight wins away from home in the competition.

This match will be St. Patrick’s Athletic’s 12th in the Conference League. The Irish side posted only four wins in regular time in four of the previous 11. In three of the last eight, they lost inside 90 minutes.
