Besiktas vs Istanbul Basaksehir Prediction (13.09.2025)

Besiktas was eliminated from the Conference League after a home loss to Lausanne with a score of 0:1. This cost the head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer his job. Prior to that, the team had played only one match in the league, winning at home 2:1 against Eyupspor. Quickly, Besiktas appointed a new coach. This is former player and coach Sergen Yalçın, with whom Besiktas won a double in 2021. However, he started now with a 0:2 loss away to Alanyaspor and must have used the break to try to improve things.

At Istanbul Basaksehir, the situation is not much better, as they also fell at the threshold of the group stage in the Conference League. This happened after two losses to Romanian Universitatea Craiova. At least they did not change the coach afterwards and drew 0:0 at home against Eyupspor. The first away visit in the championship is coming up, and in April they left with a victory from the match against Besiktas.

Both teams have experienced disappointments recently, but I think the coaching change at Besiktas will not have a negative impact, even though Yalçın started with a loss upon his return to lead the team.
