Akhisarspor vs Besiktas Prediction & Betting tips
Like a phoenix from the ashes ?! On Friday, the fight for the championship in the Süper Lig starts again. The “black eagle” are in the Süper Lig before the return round kick off and will play their first competitive match in this calendar year. Besiktas made boycott headlines last year in the Scandal Cup derby, but this season’s receipt followed suit: Besiktas was suspended by the TFF for this year’s Cup competition. Unlike the competition, therefore, no Cup match was played during the week. The first round Besiktas had ended with a negative trend and will meet for the second half of the season on this year’s Supercup winner Akhisarspor. However, Akhisar’s home side are struggling this season and must be careful not to relegate to relegation. If Akhisar Belediyespor beat Besikta’s odds against the home team, he could win a lucrative reward if successful.
Besiktas is in the current circumstances urgently dependent on a point gain. The “black eagle” have strengthened during the winter break, but also had to take a big loss. The extent to which the offensive game of the traditional Istanbul club has changed will be reflected in the back round. Akhisarspor, meanwhile, have enough time to prepare for a relegation battle following a double strike with Europa League and Süper Lig. With only one point cushion on a relegation zone a defeat against Besiktas could be fatal. Qualitatively the traditional club from Istanbul is certainly better occupied. But that does not mean that Akhisar Belediyespor has a tip against Besiktas. On Friday evening, the second leg of the Süper Lig starts with the match between Akhisar and Besiktas!
Akhisar Belediyespor:
To call Cihat Arslan a guarantor of success would still be daring at the moment. Nevertheless, the performance of the team since his debut as a coach has been promising. At the beginning of the season, Akhisarspor could not really deliver the desired results with Susic and went down nationally as well as internationally and was barely able to gain a foothold. With Arslan Akhisar Belediyespor brought an old acquaintance into the sinking ship. Since then, the stumbling reigning cup winners scored numerous point wins. The current circumstances of Akhisarspor strongly remind of the circumstances of Konyaspor from last season. Even Konya could not take root as reigning cup winners and narrowly escaped relegation. In order for Akhisar to get away with it as well, the cushion has to be extended to the relegation ranks already at the beginning of the season. 13 of the 17 points from the current season brought Akhisar in front of home crowd. Before the end of the first leg, Akhisarspor under Arslan also celebrated an important and clear 3-0 win over traditional club Fenerbahce. As with the match against Fenerbahce, Akhisar Belediyespor is under Besiktas against underdogs. At home Akhisarspor is by no means to be underestimated and proved this already in the Europa League.
In addition to the home win over Fenerbahce Akhisarspor could win in the current season against the reigning champions Galatasaray. Two out of three traditional clubs from Istanbul were thus beaten at home. Akhisar had to part in the winter break after a long back and forth of Goalgetter Seleznov. The Ukrainian expressed his desire for a change before and was subsequently removed from the squad. His departure represents a significant loss in the offensive game of the home side. Really adequate replacement Akhisar for the Ukrainian but not. With the 4-3-3 system to the previous year, there will probably be no major changes. Whether Arslan will succeed in the second half of the season remains to be seen, especially as the offensive game was very manageable. During the week, Akhisarspor celebrated an important first leg win in the cup play against Kayserispor. Will the Arslan team also be euphoric in the second half of the Süper Lig?
Besiktas:
With Ryan Babel, the next offensive man said goodbye in this winter break. After Tosun, Talisca and Babel now leaves the next high-profile offensive player the team. From the dominant offensive of the “black eagle” is still only Ricardo Quaresma on board. Already this season, the problems in the offensive Besiktas made noticeable. Previously with the strongest defense, the performance in the back row was not really impressive this season. In the last two games of the season Besiktas conceded six goals in total – four of them against Kasimpasa! Besiktas conceded at least one goal in eight out of nine away matches. Besiktas could equal a second-placed Trabzonspor for the time being, with one more game in hand on Akhisarspor, with nine points behind leaders Basaksehir. The “black eagles” certainly do not want to miss this chance, especially after three games in series could not be won before. In the Süper Lig games with Besiktas participation fell in the first round on average three goals per game.
With the departure of Ryan Babel now leads Vagner Love the internal scorer list at Besiktas – but not long, according to the last PK of Besiktas. Love had previously expressed in an interview on outstanding salary payments and publicly criticized the club. Now Love has been banned from the squad – it is quite possible that Love leaves the team during this transfer period. With Burak Yilmaz Besiktas could strengthen namely in the top. Besiktas wants to compensate for the departure of Babel with Choupo-Moting from PSG or Pjaca from Fiorentina. According to the Turkish newspaper “Sabah” a new entry in the coming days should be announced. Really serious failures deplores Günes to the back round prelude not. Whether in Akhisar Belediyespor against Besiktas a forecast in favor of the “black eagle” will prove true, remains to wait for the recent first round matches in the Süper Lig once.
