Besiktas Istanbul vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Champions League Prediction
Turkish giants Besiktas are going through a tough period, which they will be looking to address when they host Besiktas in their Group C fixture in the Champions League. Both sides have no points so far and go to Match Day 3 occupying the bottom two spots. Besiktas have lost three of their last five matches and even heading here, they suffered a 3-2 loss away to Istanbul Basaksehir. In the last five matches, they have one win and conceded two or more in six of their last seven, but they’ve failed to score in just one of the last nine. Both teams have scored in six of their last seven matches, with seven of eight ending in over 2.5 goals. The Turkish side has five straight losses in the Champions League and four of them have produced over 2.5 goals; they’ve conceded two or more in each of the five. At home, they are winless in the last four Champions League matches; they have no clean sheet and both teams have scored in the four.
Sporting are doing well domestically but in the Champions League they are struggling. They are returning to the Champions League for the first time since 2017, and the welcome hasn’t been very kind. The Portuguese champions have two straight losses, with six goals conceded. They are coming from a 4-0 win in the Portuguese Cup clash against much lower ranked Belenenses, and they’ve failed to score in just one of their last five matches – against Borussia Dortmund. They suffered a 1-0 loss to Dortmund and earlier fell 5-1 to Ajax, making it three straight losses in the Champions League. One area they will pride in is their scoring run; in the last 12 matches, they’ve failed to score in just one.
