Karagumruk vs Besiktas tips and predictions

Visitors poised to stutter

This looks poised to be a battle of attrition before the home side stamps their authority.

On home soil Karagumruk will be confident about adding to Besiktas's recent defeats. The visitors come into the match with 8 losses from their last 11 away assignments. That might not be good enough preparation.

The hosts have had some excellent spells in their previous displays. Karagumruk have scored at least once in 15 of their recent 16 matches while they've rarely been caught sleeping. They've conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 games at home.

Besiktas have gone through some tough times on the road; they've conceded two or more goals in 9 of their last 12 away matches. Some of those issues have crept into performances at the other end of the pitch. In front of goal, the visitors have looked hesitant. They've been goalless in 6 of their last 10 away matches.

The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park as they can both be dangerous in possession. This preview is only interested in value though and the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the better idea from that market.

To conclude, the home team is nicely poised as they prepare for the match. They can get the job done. A likely key to victory is their recent attacking showings. This could be the difference on match day.
