Fenerbahce vs Basaksehir Prediction: Another round, another Istanbul’s derby

The situation in Turkish Super Lig is such that at this moment almost half of the league is in the title race, the figure is expected to be at least halved as the season goes by, but at least one giant from Istanbul will remain in it. For now, all three Istanbul’s teams are in the tight race at the top, and the group is led by Fenerbahce. He scores three goals on average and score 28 goals in 9 matches so far. Basaksehir on the other hand is playing more conservative and scored 13 goals in 9 matches. Both teams earned 20 points each so far and got only 1 point less than the leader on the table.

Fenerbahce is currently 2nd placed team on the table with 20 points. He has 6 wins, 2 draws and a defeat, while at home he has 4 wins and a draw. This team is playing very fast attacking football and it gives results for now. With the army of fans behind him, this team is very dangerous when playing at home. 

Basaksehir may be the club with smallest fan base from Istanbul, but he is very serious title contender this season. Currently is on the 3rd position with 20 points, in 9 matches he has 6 wins, 2 draws and a defeat same as Fenerbahce. He doesn’t play very attractive and open football like his opponent, he scored 13 goals so far, but also Basaksehir is the team that conceded only 3 goals so far.

Both teams are pretty equal and it’s going to be a really tough derby match. Fenerbahce still doesn’t has a defeat at home and Basaksehir still doesn’t has a defeat as visitor. This match outcome is going to be a draw according to all stats and recent form, the only question is will the forwards be in the mood for goals or the defenses will decide the result.
