Istanbul Basaksehir vs Antalyaspor Match Analysis and Prediction

4 years ago 728

Istanbul Basaksehir, who are third in the table, will be looking to cement their place in the top four as they play host to Antalyaspor in the Super Lig on Monday.

On the other hand, the visitors head into the match sitting 14th in the table, six points above 17th-placed Altay in the relegation places.

Istanbul Basaksehir have picked up only one point from their last two games, but they have lost just once in their last six matches.

Only current league leaders have picked up more points (16) in the previous six games than Istanbul Basaksehir (13), who are determined to finish inside the Super Lig top four.

However, Emre Belozoglu will be disappointed that his side were not able to take three points from their away encounter with fellow Istanbul side Besiktas last weekend.

Guven Yalcin scored in the 41st minuted to cancel out Trezeguet’s opener, before Stefano Okaka restored the visitors’ lead in the first half stoppage time.

Despite leading twice, Belozoglu’s side were unable to hold on, with Kenan Karaman equalising in the 54th minute to ensure a share of the spoils.

Meanwhile, Antalyaspor enter Monday’s fixture in impressive form as they aim to extend their current unbeaten run to seven matches.

They picked up 12 points from their last six league matches, which has seen them climb out of the relegation zone and away from danger where they sit eight points clear of the bottom four.

Nuri Sahin’s side recorded a narrow 1-0 win over Sivasspor last weekend, with Fernando scoring in first-half stoppage time, and will now have the chance to secure back-to-back wins on Monday.

Goals have been hard to come by on the road, with Antalyaspor being one of four Super Lig side that are yet to hit double figures for away goals this season.

Istanbul Basaksehir news

Meanwhile, Trezeguet has continued to impress since joining in January, and will be looking to add to his four-goal tally against Antalyaspor.

Antalyaspor news

Antalyaspor are likely to be without Harun Alpsoy and Admir Mehmedi, who are set to miss out through injury, while January signing Luiz Adriano is set to lead the line on Monday.

Sahin is expected to tick with the pairing of Veysel Sari and Naldo in the centre of defence.

Prediction and Odds

Istanbul Basaksehir enter the contest under the pressure of maintaining their position in the Super Lig top four and we expect them to claim a double over Antalyaspor after winning 2-1 in the reverse fixture.

Antalyaspor are not particularly at the moment, and with Basaksehir quality, we expect a home win.
