Beşiktaş holds the edge over the last few years, winning 4 of their last 7 encounters while Başakşehir claimed just 1 victory. The two sides last fought out a thrilling 3-2 victory for Beşiktaş back in February. Historically, this explosive fixture guarantees entertainment, averaging roughly 3.21 goals per game.
Besiktas team overview
Beşiktaş enters this one on the back of a chaotic 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace in the UEFA Europa League. The Black Eagles are looking to return to winning ways against an Istanbul side they have beaten in the last two meetings.
Italiano’s men have enjoyed a respectable start to their campaign, picking up 15 points from their opening 8 league games.
Their form at the Tüpraş Stadium has been a complete and utter fortress. They boast a perfect four-match winning streak on their own turf in Süper Lig action, treating their passionate home crowd to some beautifully dominant football.
They will heavily rely on talisman Dušan Vlahović, who has been an absolute revelation by contributing 6 goals so far this season. On the injury front, the hosts face a minor setback as midfielder Fabio Miretti remains sidelined after sustaining a painful shoulder injury.

Istanbul Basaksehir team overview
İstanbul Başakşehir prepares for this one on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 home victory against Gaziantep FK. The Grey Owls are desperately trying to find consistency.
Nuri Şahin’s men sit mid-table after pocketing 11 points from their initial 8 matches. Their performances on the road have been exceptionally tragic. They are currently enduring a miserable run away from home, losing three of their last four road trips.
The fans will be heavily relying on forward Eldor Shomurodov, who has been carrying the frontline with an impressive 7 league goals to his name already this campaign.
Sadly, the medical room has a key absentee. Influential midfielder Edin Višća is out with physical discomfort, while key defender Jerome Opoku is sidelined with an unconfirmed injury.

Eldor Shomurodov
Prediction
It is going to be a fascinating derby. Don't expect Başakşehir to just park the bus, especially since Eldor Shomurodov is in such lethal goalscoring form. Personally, I am backing a narrow 2-1 victory for Beşiktaş. The hosts are entirely unstoppable at home this season. With Dušan Vlahović leading the line, they have all the quality needed to edge out a stubborn rival.
Four reasons we expect both teams to score in this game
- Besiktas is without a clean sheet in their last six matches.
- İstanbul Başakşehir failed to score in only one of their last five meetings with Besiktas.
- Four of the last five games of İstanbul Başakşehir produced over 2.5 goals.
- Eight of Besiktas’ last nine games have finished with three or more goals.
