Besiktas Istanbul vs Antalyaspor Prediction & Betting Tips - Super Lig

Prediction published on 14/03/2024, 12:30  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 16/03/2024 at 05:30 in Super Lig Prediction

Besiktas needs to get back into winning ways after two successive league defeats. They are fourth in the Turkish Super Lig and host Antalyaspor who are in eighth place. Besiktas are in the Europa Conference League qualifying position at present, three points ahead of Kasimpasa, who play league leaders Galatasaray this weekend. There’s a three point gap to make up on third placed Trabzonspor. Monday saw Besiktas lose 2-0 at Gaziantep, their 11th league loss of the season. 14 games have been won though and eight of those have come on home soil. They had earned ten points from four league games (all with clean sheets) before being beaten by top-of-the-table Galatasaray on March 3.

Antalyaspor are eight points behind their opponents. A loss here will all but end their faint hopes of European football next season. They have won nine of their 29 league games this season, losing the same number and drawing 11. The away side have struggled on their league travels this season with only three wins and seven defeats. Recent form is poor with the last three away games in the Turkish Super Lig being lost with five goals conceded. That’s extended their winless away league run to five matches. Only in one of the last three have they managed to get on the scoresheet. We tip Besiktas to get a home win this weekend.
