Bursaspor vs Basaksehir Prediction & Betting tips
On Sunday Bursaspor gets the frontrunner on a visit. Both teams managed to win their cup match during the week, but were still eliminated. Will Basaksehir succeed in making a good start to the competition?
Bursaspor :
Bursaspor made a very bad year last season and managed to prevent relegation on the last day. This season it all seems a bit better. The Crocodiles managed to get 25 points in eighteen matches and are now ninth. They closed the first half of the season with a small dip, because in their last three games they only knew one point. In their last league game they played with 1-1 equal.
Last Tuesday the Crocodiles took on Genclerbirligi. Bursaspor won 2-1, but this was not enough to win a place in the quarterfinals of the cup. Coach Paul Le Guen was not happy: ‘We did not play well and did not have luck on our side either. If we want to rise in the rankings, we must remember this competition and see it as a lesson. ‘
Bursaspor has strengthened his team with a number of players during the winter break. That is how Moussa Sow was hired. Sow played for a while at Fenerbahce and left a good impression there. In addition, the crocodiles have strengthened with Gheorghe Grozav from Karabukspor. Grozav played in fourteen league games for Karabukspor this season. The midfielder accounted for two goals. The Crocodiles also said goodbye to a number of names. Ozan Can Kokcu, Bilal Kisa and Deniz Yilmaz were all allowed to pack their suitcases.
Basaksehir:
Basaksehir knew, like last season, to close the first half of the league as a leader. They are a point above Galatasaray. In their last league game, the Owls managed to win 2-1 vs. Kasimpasa. The Owls were Wednesday in the cup. Despite the fact that they won the return match with 2-1, the Owls were eliminated. They came very early with a man less, making it a difficult job for them. The Owls can now fully focus on the competition.
Basaksehir has strengthened this winter summit with Arda Turan. The Turkish international has been leased from Barcelona. The Owls also rented Rijad Bajic from Udinese. Bajic came out last season for Konyaspor and won the cup there. The striker last season was seventeen times accurate in the competition.
Coach Abdullah Avci was not happy with the elimination in the cup: “The first game has done us the bad job. We actually started the game very well and also quickly took the lead. But in the end we quickly won a counter goal that a team like us can not collect. Then we also got a red card which made it a difficult evening. ‘
