Istanbul Basaksehir travels to St. Patrick’s Athletic in the Conference League, aiming for a win. This playoff first leg match will be played at Tallaght Stadium on Thursday, and our prediction is for goals to be scored in both halves.
The winner of this two-legged tie will move to the league phase of the extended 2024–25 Conference League, while the loser will be out of contention for European action. St. Patrick’s came through two levels of qualifying rounds to qualify for this stage. They defeated Vaduz 5-3 on aggregate before edging Sabah 2-0 in the previous round.
That included winning both legs by a 1-0 scoreline, and the hosts have now won three of their last four matches. Yet, with no significant prior experience in Europe, the home camp could be forgiven for having a dearth of confidence. Basaksehir has been impressive throughout the tournament this year, winning all four matches. The last three of those have come with a clean sheet, so the visitors will be traveling with increased confidence of making it to the league phase.
The visitors are, in fact, unbeaten this season, winning six and drawing one match along the way. They have also scored 13 goals in their four Conference League matches in that sequence, highlighting their ability to match their performance for the bigger stage.

Our St Patricks vs Istanbul Basaksehir Prediction
St. Patrick’s have never made it to the group stage of any European competition, and their lack of European experience could put them on the back foot in this match. Basaksehir have been creating waves in the Conference League this season, winning all three matches without even conceding a goal. That is why a win for the visitors is almost a given for the bookies and doesn’t give much value in the betting market. We are predicting goals to be scored in both halves, and that’s why our prediction for St. Patrick’s Athletic vs Istanbul Basaksehir is for goals to be scored in both halves.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
