Copenhagen vs Istanbul Basaksehir Preview

Istanbul Basaksehir are winless in Turkey since September, while losing both of their Conference League games so far. Copenhagen looked good in their recent match against Real Betis (1-1), so I will back them to beat the struggling opposition on Thursday.

Istanbul Basaksehir have lost 3 of their last 4 matches.

Head to Head

This is going to be the third head to head match between Copenhagen and Istanbul Basaksehir.

They last met in August 2020, the game being won by Copenhagen 3-0, while Istanbul Basaksehir won the first meeting 1-0 in March 2020.

Copenhagen Form

Copenhagen were tagged favorites in the Conference League Round 1 match against Jagiellonia at home but lost 2-1. They gained an early lead through Pantaleimon Hatzidiakos but conceded two unanswered goals in the second half.

The Lions did better in the second round against Real Betis, leaving Spain with a 1-1 draw, Kevin Diks converting a penalty in the 77th minute to secure a point.

As for their form in Danish Superliga, Copenhagen are unbeaten for six games straight, but won just one of their last four encounters. Last weekend, they were held to a 2-2 draw by Silkeborg, Diks and Andreas Cornelius on target.

Copenhagen Injuries & Team News

Left-back Marcos Lopez got injured in late October and will most likely miss this match.

Midfielder Rasmus Falk is also unavailable due to a knee injury, expected to be back next week.

Nicolai Boilesen and Roony Bardghji have been injured since summer and won’t be available until early 2025.

Istanbul Basaksehir Form

Istanbul Basaksehir are having a disastrous start to the Conference League group stages, collecting zero points from the opening two rounds.

After suffering a 2-1 home defeat to Rapid Wien, they got demolished in Slovenia by Celje 5-1, Dimitris Pelkas scoring a consolation goal in the second half.

The Owls are not in good form in the Super Lig too, sitting in 8th position with 15 points from 10 matches. They lost to Konyaspor 3-2 last weekend and extended the winless run to four games in Turkey.

Istanbul Basaksehir Injuries & Team News

Manager Cagdas Atan has no injury or suspension concerns ahead of this match.

Verdict

FC Copenhagen v Istanbul Basaksehir

Manager Cagdas Atan is very close to getting sacked since Basaksehir are winless since September. They lost both of their Conference League so far, so I am backing Copenhagen to claim three points on Thursday.
