Besiktas vs Konyaspor Betting Tips: Besiktas & Under 3.5

Besiktas acknowledges that their chances of winning the domestic championship are virtually non-existent, as Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, the two primary title contenders, have outpaced them by over 20 points. As a result, their focus has shifted to securing a spot in a European competition, with the exception of the Champions League.

In order to preserve their competitiveness for a top-four spot, Besiktas urgently needs to improve their form. Their recent performance has been questionable, having only won one of their last five Super Lig matches. This puts their position in jeopardy, particularly as Kasimpasa is hot on their trail, lagging by just one point.

Surprisingly, the Black Eagles’ offensive line has greatly stumbled, being the main reason for their recent poor performance. Despite their prestigious history and high aspirations, they have managed to score just twice in the last five games of the Turkish elite league, a situation that was unthinkable for such a renowned club.

On a positive note, the boys in black and white are showing promising signs as they return to their home ground, Tupras Stadium. They have successfully gone through four home games without a loss, maintaining a clean sheet in each match. This suggests a potential for another shutout victory for the Istanbul giant.

On the other hand, Konyaspor had an exceptional week recently. They first secured a place in the Ziraat Turkish Cup’s quarter-finals by defeating their Super Lig rival, Sivasspor, in extra time. Subsequently, under the watch of their new manager, Fahrudin Omerovic, the team achieved their first league win against Ankaragucu by a slim 1-0 margin.

Since the 62-year-old Bosnian coach took over the team, the Anatolian Eagles have remarkably improved in their discipline and defense, conceding two or more goals only once in his seven-game period. They are entering Monday’s journey with three consecutive shutouts in all competitions.

Facing a daunting task ahead, Besiktas, amidst their mixed form of late, will have their work cut out in breaking down Konyaspor’s well-organized defense, especially since Omerovic has molded his side into a tough nut to crack, remaining unbeaten in their last four away outings. Although this matchup is difficult to call, we hope that the Istanbul Eagles, who have more depth and quality playing staff, will come away with a narrow success.
