Fenerbahce vs Istanbul Basaksehir Prediction: Experience is a Key Factor

Prediction for the Super Lig Fenerbahce vs Istanbul Basaksehir match, which will take place on June 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Fenerbahce is one of the most successful teams in Turkey, which has won the national championship 19 times and another six times won the сup. Another thing is that the last time they won the trophy was in 2014, after which their results went down. At the end of the previous decade, they were in the middle of the elite division, but then they began to improve. The team ended up among the league winners for the last three years. In this tournament, they are the vice-champion, eight points behind Galatasaray. Now Fener has a chance to gain a trophy.

Istanbul is a more modest team that has always been a strong average performer in the elite division. In 2013 they were even relegated to the country's second-strongest league. The team came back the following year, only much stronger than before. In the 2010s, they finished among the winners of the Super Lig four times. In 2020 Basaksehir even became the champions. The capital team could not keep it. In the next three seasons, they did not reach the top-3. Istanbul took only fifth place this season, but we are still waiting for them to be the final in a trophy battle.

In such a match, one of the main factors is experience in important games. Fenerbahce, which has won the Turkish Cup six times, has much more of it, while Istanbul Başakşehir failed it twice. The Canaries also played better during the current season, outscoring their opponent by 18 points. But their opponent won both personal meetings in the Super Lig - 1:0 and 2:1. 

The upcoming encounter has every chance to be productive. On the eve of the final, both teams started to score a lot of goals time and time again. In the last four H2H meetings, Fenerbahce scored 12 goals (3.00 on average), and Istanbül had the same (4.00 on average) over three games. Such numbers bode well for a goal-rich battle.
