Adana Demirspor vs Besiktas prediction 16.12.2024 | Super Lig

• Competition: Super Lig
• Date: Monday, 16th December, 2024
• Kickoff: 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET
• Venue: Yeni Adana Stadyumu (Adana)

Adana Demirspor arrived at the Super Lig in 2021/22 and were pretty good, especially in the 2022/23 season when they finished 4th! Still, this season, the situation is horrible, considering they are in 19th place. As they had a three-point deduction by the FA, they now have a -1 point after 14 rounds - already 16 points away from the safe zone. Right now, survival looks like an impossible task if something doesn't change drastically.

Besiktas are one of the greatest clubs in Turkey. Even though they haven't had much success in the last four years in Super Lig, they did well in the Cup, winning it last year. This year, "Black Eagles" once again don't look like a title contender. They are sitting in fifth place with 25 points from 14 rounds - already 13 points away from the firest-placed Galatasaray. As it stands now, even securing Europe will not be an easy task. Additionally, Besiktas aren't great in the EL, considering they are in 28th place with six points in six rounds.

Adana Demirspor vs Besiktas pick: Over 2.5 goals

Adana Demirspor have been absolutely atrocious defensively this season, allowing 34 goals so far - 2.43 per game. And as the season progresses, they are only looking worse and worse, in our opinion. In recent four games, they allowed three or more goals on three occasions. They even allowed three goals in the Cup against Sebat Genclikspor - a fourth-tier team. So, we wouldn't really be surprised if they allow three goals against Besiktas as well.

Meanwhile, Besiktas haven't been impressive defensively either, as they kept a clean sheet just once in the last five matches. So, we do not believe they can keep their net intact on the road, even against poor Adana Demirspor.

In the previous three h2h games, we saw three or more goals on two occasions. Considering the previous h2h games, Adana's terrible defensive display, and all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
