Umraniyespor traveled to Atatürk Olympic Stadium to face Fatih Karagumruk in a highly competitive and exciting match, but for them, it was an evening to forget because their survival chances in the Super Lig hinged on three points that they failed to earn as they suffered a 4:2 loss.
Despite Mehmet Umut Nayir scoring from the penalty spot to give his team a lead in the 36th minute, they would lose that advantage as they conceded two goals in first-half stoppage time and then another two goals in the second half, even though they also managed to score one goal.
Recep Uçar's men have failed to deliver a convincing performance in front of their loyal supporters as they have performed below par at the Ümraniye Belediyesi Sehir Stadi, with their supporters only knowing disappointment rather than satisfaction as they have only won two of their fourteen home matches played, recording four and eight losses, and a more improved showing will be required.
They are presently in the relegation zone, occupying 18th position with 23 points, level on points with Hatayspor, who are rooted to the bottom of the table.

The Black Eagles' journey to the Medical Park Stadyumu proved to be a truly difficult assignment as they faced off against Trabzonspor, the childhood club of their manager Senol Gunes, and were kept at arm's length, ultimately settling to a scoreless draw and splitting the spoils.
Prior to that, they competed in a club friendly against Spain's Atletico Madrid, and goals from Gedson Fernandes and Georges-Kévin N'Koudou made sure they had a successful encounter. They won 2:0, and this comes after their comfortable 3:1 victory over Giresunspor at home.
Away from home, Sivasspor has been the only team to defeat them (1:0) in their last eight matches (W4 L1 D3), and apart from that, they have produced some stellar performances, one of which was a 4:2 win over Fenerbahce, which is still far from old news for them and their fans.
Besiktas is aiming for a third-place finish or, ideally, a second-place finish, but the most important thing is that they finish their season in the European football slots, which will be more than enough for them. They are currently in third place with 59 points.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1

Expert Betting Tips
It's difficult to imagine Umraniyespor walking away with a victory in this match, as we anticipate their terrible home form to continue here as well. They have only won two of their last fourteen home games.
For Senol Gunes' team, playing at home or away hasn't really been a problem because they've done well away from home, with their performance being commendable. However, after their draw with Trabzonspor, which resulted in a loss of two points, such a minor setback will no longer be tolerated.
Besiktas has been a force to be reckoned with in this matchup, as evidenced by their goal total of 12 in just three meetings with Umraniyespor, all of which they won. As a result, we fancy their chances of winning this one handily in the full-time market.
