Eyupspor missed out on the opportunity to cement their top-four spot in the league standings on Sunday. They played out a 1-1 home league draw against Kayserispor to salvage a point, although they would have felt that they needed to take more than just a point after being pegged back at the eleventh hour.
Arda Turan's troops have seen a decline in what was an impressive form. They are winless in two league games (D1, L1). This blip in form comes after going five matches without defeat, recording four wins and a solitary draw not to mention a four-match winning streak during this period.
At home, though, they have been relatively impressive avoiding defeat in five games (W3, D2). Only two goals were conceded during this run highlighting their rock-solid defence which is currently regarded as the best in the league this season (GA 21).

Besiktas
Form: WWDDW
Besiktas have found their rhythm under the management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and have now started to pick up points. They have accumulated seven points from a possible nine in their last three league games. This run has ensured that they remain within touching distance of the top-four in the league standings.
The Black Eagles witnessed fate lend them a helping hand in a narrow 2-1 home victory against Trabzonspor on Saturday. That result marked their second consecutive league win and extended their unbeaten run to seven games (W3, D4).
Indeed, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men have avoided defeat in their last three away matches. However, a 2-0 win against Sivasspor is the only triumph recorded by the team in their last eight outings (D5, L2).
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1

Expert Betting Tips
Betting on goals here could be a smart move. These are two sides that have shown potent offence in their previous encounters. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches across all competitions. I'm expecting this trend to continue here.
However, that's not a route I'll be taking in this matchup. My eyes are set on Ciro Immobile to get on the scoresheet. I know it has been really quite for the 34-year-old in his last four league games, but the fact that he is the team's leading goalscorer is enough for me to back him up to find the target this Friday.
Ciro Immobile has scored ten goals in 19 league appearances this season and I'm expecting him to add to this tally by backing him up in the anytime goalscorer market.
Our main prediction for the match: Anytime Goalscorer - Ciro Immobile for 2.20 with Bet365.
2nd prediction: Total - Over 2.5 for 1.80 with 1xbet.
3rd prediction: Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.62 with Betway.
