Besiktas vs. Galatasaray – Prediction and Betting Tips | Mar 3, 2024

In the heart of the Turkish Super Lig, a monumental fixture looms as Besiktas prepare to host league leaders Galatasaray at the Tupras Stadyumu on Sunday, March 3, 2024, at 4pm UK. With crucial points at stake, this match not only promises intense rivalry but also significant implications for the league standings. Besiktas aim to leap into the UEFA Europa League qualification spots, while Galatasaray looks to consolidate their position at the summit.
Match Analysis:
Besiktas, under the guidance of Fernando Santos, have endured a rollercoaster season, seeing them occupy the fourth position on equal points with Trabzonspor but trailing on goal difference. The Black Eagles have seen a recent upturn in form, embarking on a six-game undefeated streak that has been characterized by a staunch defensive record of conceding just once. Despite a tumultuous campaign that saw Santos become the fifth managerial appointment, Besiktas has shown resilience and a fighting spirit, particularly at home, where their record against Galatasaray speaks volumes of their dominance.
Galatasaray enters this derby as the frontrunners of the Turkish Super Lig, having amassed an impressive 72 points from 27 games. Their near-flawless season has been marred by recent stumbles, including a heart-wrenching Europa League exit and a Turkish Cup defeat, narrowing their focus solely on domestic success. The return of top scorer Mauro Icardi from suspension is a timely boost for the visitors, who will be keen to avenge their recent cup disappointments with a statement win.
Head-to-Head and Recent Form: The historical context adds an intriguing layer to this clash, with Besiktas having a formidable home record against Galatasaray, who haven’t secured a league victory at the Tupras Stadyumu since January 2015. However, Galatasaray’s exceptional form this season positions them as the favourites, setting the stage for a captivating encounter.
Team News:
Besiktas face significant selection dilemmas, with Gedson Fernandes and Bakhtiyar Zaynutdinov suspended, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Tayfur Bingol are sidelined with injuries. Galatasaray, on the other hand, approaches this match with a fully fit squad, highlighted by the expected return of Mauro Icardi to lead the attack.
