Prepare for intense end-to-end action in the Istanbul Derby as Besiktas host Galatasaray in Matchday 25 of the Turkish Süper Lig. Kara Kartallar currently occupy the Conference League qualification spot, but will at least be looking to snatch the Europa spot from Trabzonspor. Cimbom, on the other hand, cannot afford a slip-up here as Fenerbahce closes down the four-point gap. Stick around for our match prediction!
While Gala are typically the favourites in this draw, Besiktas has almost equal odds to win this game. And rightfully so, considering the outstanding performances from Kara Kartallar over the past three months. Since November 2025, Besiktas haven’t lost even a single match in all competitions, now boasting an 18-game unbeaten streak that featured 12 victories.
They now look to continue that run at home to a Galatasaray side whom they stole a point from on the road earlier this season. Cimbom may not boast an unbeaten streak as long, but they’ve been even better than their rivals in recent games.
Galatasaray just beat Alanyaspor in the league and Turkiye Kupasi in back-to-back games, extending their winning run to eight games in their last 11. In the league alone, Cimbom has lost only one of its last 12, also boasting nine victories that have given it a 4-point edge over Fenerbahce.
