Wolfsberger vs Istanbul Basaksehir Predictions

Wolfsberger are set to take on Istanbul Basaksehir this Thursday’s UEFA Europa League Group J fixture. Group J is proving to be one of the tightest and most closely contested groups in this season’s Europa League. 

Both of these teams will be hoping to secure a win in this game to put themselves in a good position to qualify for the knockout stage of this competition. Both teams are currently tied on 4 points after 3 games. 

Istanbul Basaksehir are currently enjoying an impressive run of form. They have lost just 1 of their last 11 games in all competitions. On top of that, Istanbul are enjoying a good run of form in Europe, at present. They have lost just 2 of their last 8 Europa League games. 

In contrast, Wolfsberger are struggling to find form, at present. They have won just 2 of their last 8 competitive fixtures. On top of that, Wolfsberger have also performed poorly in the Europa League, of late. They have won just 1 of their 5 most recent Europa League fixtures. 

We feel that Istanbul have a good chance of taking a result from this Thursday’s fixture. Istanbul Basaksehir, double-chance is a market worth looking at for this game. 

Neither of these two teams have been involved in too many high-scoring games in Europe recently. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 4 of Istanbul’s 5 most recent Europa League games. Meanwhile, there have also been under 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Wolfsberger’s last 7 Europa League fixtures. 

Istanbul have scored 1 goal or less in each of their last 5 Europa League games. Similarly, Wolfsberger have also scored 1 goal or less in 4 of their last 5 Europa League games. 

We feel that we are unlikely to see too many goals scored in this Thursday’s game. We predict that a 1-1 draw is a likely result of this game.
