Fiorentina vs Istanbul Basaksehir Predictions

• Fiorentina have conceded four goals in two of their last four games.
• Basaksehir need only a draw to be confirmed as group winners.
• Basaksehir are unbeaten in 12 of their 13 away games since the start of April (W8, D4).

A crunch clash in the race for knockout football

This clash has an all-important feel of a straight shootout for springtime European football when in truth, both sides will likely have already done enough to achieve it.

Fiorentina must win by a 4+ goal margin if they want to leapfrog Basaksehir after losing 3-0 in the reverse, but the visitors need only a point to secure their ticket to the final 16. The incentive for victory isn’t an issue, as the second-placed finisher must play an extra play-off round, so the Turks will take nothing for granted.

Fiorentina are worthy favourites, but it’s hard to look past Basaksehir’s incredible four-game start to the Conference League group stage. The visitors have scored 2.5 goals per-match on average and they’re actually yet to concede a goal in this edition!

Follow the value

Given Basaksehir’s imperious form both in this competition and in general away from home, it’s baffling to see such a large price for them to take the spoils here. We’re using that price to play the percentages with a double chance selection on Basaksehir or draw.

As for the correct score, a small stakes play on a 1-1 draw that would see both sides secure progression completes our predictions.
