by Sridhar Bhamidi in Conference League Predictions
Viking will look to move closer to the group stage of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League but face a tricky task against Istanbul Basaksehir in the third qualifying round. The first leg will be played on Thursday at Viking Stadion, and our prediction is a high-scoring fixture that will also see goals from both teams.
The winner of this two-legged tie will proceed to the play-off round and will play the victors of the tie between Universitatea Craiova and Spartak Trnava. For the losers, it’s goodbye to their hopes of having any European action this season.
Viking are playing qualifiers in Europe for the first time since 2022-23 and breezed past Koper 12-3 on aggregate, winning the first leg at home 7-0 and the second leg by a 5-3 scoreline. Combined with a 3-1 win in the domestic league sandwiched in between, they have three victories in a row.
Going back to the start of July, Viking’s matches have been goal magnets, with their five fixtures producing 29 goals in total.
Basaksehir have been comprehensive in their qualification, defeating Cherno More 5-0 on aggregate in the previous round. Having won their last two friendlies before those fixtures, the visitors have now won four in a row.

Our Viking FK vs Istanbul Basaksehir Prediction
Viking were at their dominant best in the previous qualifying round, scoring 12 goals across two legs against Koper. That scoring form could be put to the test here, as Basaksehir kept four clean sheets in their last five matches, including both legs of the previous qualifying round. Interestingly, Viking’s matches in Europe, going back to 2022-23, tend to be heavily scored, and either way, goals could flow.
That trend could continue here, and our Viking FK vs Istanbul Basaksehir prediction is BTTS and over 2.5.
