Besiktas Istanbul vs Istanbul Basaksehir 26 October 2026 Prediction

Besiktas vs Istanbul Basaksehir is scheduled for October 26, 2026. Both teams have two wins, one draw and two losses in their last five matches. Their recent results are similar, but their home and away records differ sharply.

Besiktas Form

Besiktas has taken seven points from its last five matches, beating Hoffenheim and Kocaelispor, drawing with Crystal Palace, and losing to Amedspor and Trabzonspor. Besiktas scored nine goals and conceded eight during that stretch. A 3-2 win was followed by a 2-0 loss and then a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace. At home, Besiktas beat Kocaelispor 2-1 and drew 2-2 in the two matches covered here.

Besiktas has created chances even when results have gone against it. The team took 19 shots and created one big chance against Trabzonspor, then took 21 shots and created two big chances against Amedspor. It scored twice in each game, broadly in line with xG figures of 1.28 and 1.97, respectively. Across the five matches, Besiktas scored slightly more than its combined xG, while its eight goals conceded exceeded a combined xGA of about 6.7. Its season home averages are three goals scored and 0.75 conceded per game.

Istanbul Basaksehir Form

Istanbul Basaksehir also has two wins, one draw and two losses in its last five matches. It beat Genclerbirligi 4-0 and Gaziantep 2-1, drew 0-0 with Konyaspor, and lost 5-0 to Amedspor and 3-2 to Galatasaray. Its goal difference over that span is 8-9. Results have improved recently: after two losses, Basaksehir took four points from its matches against Konyaspor and Gaziantep.

Away form is the main concern. Istanbul Basaksehir has taken one point from three away matches covered here, scoring twice and conceding eight goals. Those results include a 0-0 draw with Konyaspor, a 5-0 loss to Amedspor and a 3-2 loss to Galatasaray. Its season away averages are 0.33 goals scored and 2.33 conceded per game. Basaksehir generated 2.03 xG and scored twice against Galatasaray, but its eight goals across the five-match stretch came from a combined xG of about 5.4. That finishing rate may be difficult to sustain. Its nine goals conceded are close to a combined xGA of about 9.7.

Head-to-Head and Home/Away Form

In their last five head-to-head meetings, the teams have scored 10 goals, and four games have finished with no more than three goals. The scores were 3-2, 2-1, 0-2, 0-0 and 1-1; none had a margin greater than two goals. Besiktas is unbeaten in the last two meetings, including a 3-2 away win over Istanbul Basaksehir. Besiktas is also unbeaten in the two home matches covered here, while Basaksehir has failed to win any of its three away games.

Besiktas vs Istanbul Basaksehir Prediction: Besiktas or Draw

Besiktas has the stronger home record and a higher home scoring average. Istanbul Basaksehir can score, but it has conceded at least two goals in each of its last two away defeats. With little separating the teams’ overall form, backing Besiktas to win outright carries more risk than the double-chance option. Main prediction: Besiktas or draw. Besiktas is unbeaten in its two home matches covered here, Basaksehir has struggled away, and Besiktas took four points from the last two head-to-head meetings.
