Fenerbahce vs Besiktas Preview

Besiktas have been struggling lately and they are 23 points behind Fenerbahce. The Yellow Canaries looked great in last week’s win at Gaziantep, so I will back them to emerge victorious in the Istanbul derby.

HTH

Besiktas have a 107-103 advantage against Fenerbahce with 84 draws in 294 matches.

They last met in December, the game being won by Besiktas 1-0.

Fenerbahce Form

Fenerbahce’s title hopes are slim entering the final five rounds in the Super Lig, sitting in 2nd place with a five-point deficit from Galatasaray.

After claiming two convincing victories in early April against Trabzonspor 4-1 and Sivasspor 3-1, the Yellow Canaries slipped at home against Kayserispor, that game ending in a 3-3 draw.

They returned to winning ways in the previous round with a 3-1 road win at Gaziantep, Talisca, Edin Dzeko and Fred scoring in the second half.

Jose Mourinho’s side was eliminated from the Turkish Cup on 2nd April after losing to archrival Galatasaray 2-1 in the quarterfinals.

Besiktas Form

Besiktas have been in poor form recently, winning just one of their last five games and currently sit in 4th place in the Super Lig with five rounds remaining.

The Black Eagles started the previous month with a 3-1 loss to Goztepe in the Turkish Cup, then failed to beat Kasimpasa (1-1), followed with a 2-0 home loss to Istanbul Basaksehir.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side then drawn at Goztepe 1-1, while finally putting an end to the four-game winless streak in the previous round with a 5-1 home win against already-relegated Hatayspor, Ciro Immobile scoring a hat-trick, Rafa and Keny Arroyo also on target.

Team News

Fenerbahce are without Jayden Oosterwolde and Rodrigo Becao due to cruciate ligament injuries. Allan Saint-Maximin and Mert Hakan Yandas are also sidelined, while Filip Kostic is suspended. Mert Muldur misses out as well but was not in contention to start.

Besiktas are missing centre-backs Felix Uduokhai and Gabriel Paulista through injury, while Ernest Muci and Bakhtiyor Zaynutdinov are also sidelined. The latter was not expected to feature in the starting XI.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Fenerbahce: Livakovic, Skriniar, Carlos, Soyuncu, Mercan, Fred, Amrabat, Szymanski, Aydin, Talisca, En-Nesyri

Besiktas: Gunok, Masuaku, Sanuc, Topcu, Svensson, Hadziahmetovic, Fernandes, Rashica, Rafa, Hekimoglu, Immobile

Verdict

Fenerbahce v Besiktas

Fenerbahce have been underperforming defensively, but their recent Super Lig results have been great. Besiktas won just one of their last five games despite being favorites, so I am backing home win on Sunday. Fener to win & BTTS is a value bet.
