Besiktas vs Fenerbahce Prediction 09.12.2023

• Competition: Turkey Super Lig
• Date: 09.12.2023
• Kickoff: 16:00 UTC / 17:00 CET
• Venue: Tupras Stadium (Istanbul)

In the 15th round of the Turkish Super League, a big derby will be played between two clubs from Istanbul, Besiktas and Fenerbahce.

Besiktas is at the top of the table, but far behind city rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, who will probably settle the issue of national champion between themselves. With 11 points less than this duo, Besiktas currently shares the position with Kayseri. Placement in the Europa League could be a significant goal and motivation should not be lacking. In the previous round, Besiktas played 1-1 in a difficult away game against Ankaragucu

In the last two matches, Fenerbahce was very effective and with a total of 6 goals defeated Sivasspor and Karagumruk at home. With those victories, they somewhat compensated for the bad results against Adana and Trabzonspor. The race for the title will be more than tiring and Fener needs good results in such derby matches. A special motive and much more energy than usual is expected against Besiktas

Besiktas vs Fenerbahce pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

47 goals have been scored on Fenerbahce matches so far, which is slightly more than 3 goals per match. Besiktas matches are significantly less efficient with around 2.6 goals per match on average. This is a derby and Fener is away tem, so it won't be easy to beat Besiktas' goal and create too many chances. If we go back to some previous direct duels between these teams, we can notice that there were a lot of draws and 3 out of 5 previous mutual duels ended under 2.5. This will be a tough duel with few real chances under 2.5 goals is certainly a very good betting option
