Football Betting Prediction Fenerbahce vs Besiktas

The all-or-nothing Fenerbahçe of Philip Cocu will be at stake in this Istanbul derby.

The former PSV’s stay could not be worse in Turkey, and the press are saying that a new bad result in this classic may mean the departure of the Dutch coach, with even some hot names to succeed him in the team’s technical command.

Having failed to qualify in the Champions League after being eliminated with Benfica, Fenerbahçe went into a bad spiral of poor results in the league, where in five games only managed to win twice, in the opening game against Bursaspor (2-1) – in a game played in the middle of that tie played in Lisbon and Istanbul – and in the last round in the field of Konyaspor (1-0), a formation that despite having fought for the maintenance at the time past started very well the installment in this year’s championship, in what was even the first defeat in the Turkish League. Moreover, Fenerbahçe lost to Yeni Malatyaspor (0-1), Göztepe (0-1) and Kayserispor (2-3).

With all the other games of this 6th round of the championship already held, Fenerbahçe occupies the 13th place in the league table, with only 6 points, a record that leaves the Cocu team already 7 points behind the leader, currently occupied by Basaksehir, who equalized in this round.

Despite a reaction outlined a week ago, Fenerbahçe fell again – and with a bang – in their UEFA Europa League group stage debut last Thursday in Zagreb, Croatia, against local Dynamo, who were thrashed 4-1 in a match where the coach promoted several changes compared to the usual.

Besiktas have already lost points in two of their five matches in this tournament, but started out better than Fener, having already scored 10 points, a record that allows Senol Gunes’ men to even take the lead in the derby – although shared with Basaksehir.

The points lost by Besiktas were in the reception to the Antalyaspor (2-3) and in the displacement to the stronghold of Bursaspor (1-1).

Nevertheless, the team arrives in a good moment to this match, it follows with three consecutive victories, the last of which to count for Liga Europa, where he got in the best of form by beating Sarpsborg 3-1 at home, having already beaten Yeni Malatyaspor (2-1) on the final day of the League.

Nerve game for the men of the home, but also for Besiktas, who can reach the lead in case of triumph in this round, since Kasimpasa, Galatasaray and Basaksehir have already played and lost all points.

If there is a moment when the Besiktas team can believe they can win in Fener’s field, the Cocu-led team is under enormous pressure and, despite playing in the face of the fervent support of its public, it is forbidden to return to fail, under pain of Cocu being even fired.

I expect an intense game, with great offensive pressure from both sets, especially Fenerbahçe who will have to do everything to add up the three points.

This approach will give Besiktas opportunities to take advantage to do damage, but defensively the set of Quaresma and Pepe has not been at all well, which leads me believe in a match with a few goals.
