Besiktas vs Fenerbahce Prediction: Another clash of titans in Turkish league

Both teams are behind the leader Basaksehir, although they are very close. Fener is in a slightly better moment. Besiktas had a great start, but won only one point in the previous two rounds. The guests will have a negative tradition in front of them, they last celebrated against Besiktas in 2019. The previous three matches ended in a draw. Both teams will have important matches coming up next weekend in the UEFA competitions, so the pressure is big on both teams as this derby is most important for them and their fans, but also both teams want to success in the international competitions.

Besiktas is currently on the 5th position with 14 points. He is certainly disappointed with his form in the last 2 matches and will try to improve now. Home advantage have certainly been evident for Besiktas so far this season, picking up nine points from just four games. After 7 matches they have 4 wins, 2 draws and a defeat. The title race is tight this season and Besiktas will have to improve his game if he wants to stay in it.

The Fenerbahce’s fans surely expected much better performance from their team at the start of the season. Fenerbahce is on the 7th place with 13 points, 4 less than the leader. He has 4 wins, a draw and a defeat so far and in their two away games this season, Fenerbahce have a single victory earning 3 points and a defeat.

Derbies in the Turkish Super Lig are always tense, almost in every bigger derby there are many yellow and red card, penalties, etc. Besiktas can be considered as a slight favorite at home, but considering the opponent and his strength a draw with many goals may be the best option for betting.
