Besiktas vs Eskisehirspor Betting Tips & Predictions

Besiktas were beaten by Fenerbahce last Monday and saw their lead at the top of the Turkish Super Lig slashed, and they followed this up with a midweek Turkish Cup exit to Konyaspor. It’s not been a good week for Besiktas.

However, they are only two points adrift of top the table Fenerbahce in second place, and they still have a game in hand. If they win this one on Monday they could take the lead in the table again, but only if Fenerbahce falter on Sunday.

Eskisehirspor are in a much less pleasant situation, with their measly return of 17 points from their opening 23 games puts them rock bottom of the Turkish Super Lig, and unless they turn their form around soon they could find the six point gap between them and safety build into an insurmountable mountain.

I think it will be really difficult for the visitors to get anything from this game, and the bookies agree on this front. Odds for a Besiktas win come in at a very short 1/3.

However, we can find some value if we take into account the fact that Besiktas have kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight home games, with every one of these clean sheets resulting in a win for the title hopefuls.

Add to this to measly eight goals that Eskisehirspor have scored on the road this season and we can get a lot of value from a Besiktas Win to Nil bet at odds of 6/5. I’m also going for a 3-0 correct score prediction at 15/2.
