THE PREDICTION
Istanbul Basaksehir’s incredible fall down the Turkish Super Lig showed a few signs of stopping recently with two draws and a win from their last five but a 2-3 defeat at home to Besiktas last Friday left them in the relegation zone. An immediate rematch is on now in the Turkish Cup semi-final but away at the current league leaders is going to be an even tougher challenge for struggling Basaksehir. Besiktas are on a seven-match winning streak over all competitions and have beaten Istanbul Basaksehir by three goals to two in both of their meetings this season, with a 3-2 at home coming at a time when their visitors were still chasing European places and not avoiding relegation. Both teams look set to score here but it would be a surprise to see another close victory in this reversal. You could take Besiktas to qualify by a margin of two or more goals or Besiktas to qualify and both teams to score a total of over 2.5 goals here.
