Besiktas vs Kasimpasa Prediction & Betting tips
The table constellation in the Süper Lig can change so quickly. After Fenerbahce overtook title rivals with a promising start to the season, their city rivals Galatasaray and Besiktas followed suit in recent weeks. The latter caused a big surprise on the last day of the match and won a league derby at Fenerbahce for the first time in 15 years.
With this, the Black Eagles not only shortened the gap to the championship lead, but also recorded their second derby victory in a row. Before that, Besiktas prevailed against last year’s champions Basaksehir in the home derby. On Friday evening, the black and whites from Istanbul will kick off the eleventh matchday in the Süper Lig and receive Kasimpasa for the third Istanbul derby in a row.
The best bookmakers see Besiktas versus Kasimpasa as favorites according to odds, but the guests are by no means to be underestimated. The blue-whites rank a place behind the black eagles from Istanbul and can even overtake with an away win on Friday evening.
Besiktas:
Besiktas is riding a wave of euphoria. After two derby victories in a row, the Black Eagles have climbed to fourth place in the table of the Süper Lig and now have realistic chances of winning the title again. The gap to the two city rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce is four points, but the black and whites currently have one game less in the account.
It is therefore all the more important to expand the winning streak. On Friday evening, Sergen Yalcin’s team will have their third derby in a row, after all, city rivals Kasimpasa will be welcomed. At home, Besiktas have so far had a home record of 2-1-1, with only the home game against Genclerbirligi (0: 1) being lost.
In the last home game, the derby against Basaksehir, the black and whites scored more than one goal in a home game for the first time this season. The strong offensive performance was also continued in the away derby against Fenerbahce, where a total of four goals were scored.
Nevertheless, the back line of the Black Eagles remains a major construction site. There have already been 17 goals conceded in nine games this season. Statistically speaking, Besiktas has the weakest defense in the Süper Lig. Ten of the 17 goals conceded by the black and whites in the last three competitive games.
If the defense remains as fragile as in the previous weeks, a clean slate against Kasimpasa will not be possible. Sergen Yalcin will again have to complain about some losses on Friday evening, but this time he will at least be spared major restrictions in the back line.
Kasimpasa:
Eventful weeks lie behind Kasimpasa SK. After a surprising coaching change took place in the meantime, there was also the resignation of CEO Serkan Recber in the course of the last week. For now, he will take over the vacant coaching position at the blue and white Fuat Capa, who will start his third term at Kasimpasa.
Last week Kasimpasa celebrated their first win under Capa. The fifth in the table of the Süper Lig prevailed 2-0 in the home game against Genclerbirligi and remained unbeaten in the fifth home game of the current season. In any case, the current table situation in the Turkish upper house is primarily due to the home strength of the blue-whites.
In a foreign country, Kasimpasa only has a record of 1-1-3. Compared to the home games, where the clean slate was kept in four out of five games, the defense of the blue-whites was much more vulnerable in the away games. Kasimpasa conceded at least one goal in all five away games.
The only away win was surprisingly recorded at last year’s runner-up from Trabzon, where an interim 3-2 deficit was made up in the final minutes. On Friday evening Fuat Capa will have to complain about eleven failures at the city derby against Besiktas. This considerably limits the options in the run-up to the eleventh game day. Major changes compared to the starting XI from last week are not expected.
