Besiktas vs Istanbul Basaksehir Prediction and Betting Tips | April 12th 2025

Besiktas will invite local rivals Istanbul Basaksehir to Tüpraş Stadyumu in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday. The two teams are separated by six points in the standings, with the fourth-placed hosts leading the sixth-placed Basaksehir.

The Black Eagles have endured a poor run of form, winning just one of their last five games in all competitions.

Gedson Fernandes scored the equalizer from the penalty spot in the 90th minute.

The visitors have seen an uptick in form and have won their two league games after the international break. They hosted Konyaspor last week, and Krzysztof Piątek's second-half penalty helped them record a 1-0 win.
