Prediction published on 26/12/2019, 09:08  by Steve Ashfield | Modified on 26/12/2019 at 10:09 in Super Lig Predictions

Besiktas are currently seven points off the top of the Turkish Super Liga. They are fifth after consecutive defeats to Fenerbahce and Yeni Malatyaspor and  host 13th placed Genclerbirligi.. The hosts have lost four consecutive matches in all competitions including a 4-0 defeat in the Europa League away at Wolves and they have managed just one goal in that period. As for the visitors they gained a credible draw just before Christmas when hosting league leaders Sivasspor which followed a 3-1 home win over Goztepe.

The guests have lost just one of their last four matches away from home and that was on their last road trip at Fenerbahce. That was their third defeat away from home this season with two wins and two draws to go along with that in away league games so far this season. Besiktas’s defeat last time out against Yeni ended a run of five straight home wins, three in the Super Lig. Besiktas have accumulated just one point more (9) than their opponents have in their last five games with eight points. Goals should be expected with 3.4 goals on average in games involving the visitors which is a league-high average after 16 games. Besiktas’s games average 2.8 goals per game with eight seeing over 2.5 goals.
