Three Punchy Stats
- Besiktas have won four consecutive competitive matches without conceding, giving them a clear edge in match rhythm and defensive continuity.
- Eyupspor ended last season without a clean sheet in 12 consecutive matches across all competitions, a significant concern against a side averaging 14.6 league attempts per game.
- Orkun Kokcu has four goals and three assists across Besiktas’ last 10 league matches, making him their leading contributor for both scoring and creation over that run.
Attacking Metrics Comparison
Recent attacking records for Besiktas and Eyupspor are shown below.
Defensive Metrics Comparison
Recent defensive records for Besiktas and Eyupspor are shown below.
Vincenzo Italiano’s side have won four successive Europa League qualifiers without conceding, while Eyupspor arrive from a summer of managerial and squad change after a difficult end to last season.
That does not make the opener straightforward. Eyupspor have lost none of their last four meetings with Besiktas, but their defensive record deteriorated badly late in the previous campaign. The central question is whether a rebuilt side can withstand a Besiktas team that already looks settled enough to impose sustained pressure.
Besiktas have momentum without needing to overstate it
The Black Eagles have beaten Midtjylland and Hradec Kralove over two legs, scoring five without reply. Four competitive wins provide rhythm, but the more revealing detail is how little defensive damage they have allowed during that sequence.
Alexander Nubel has settled quickly, while Orkun Kokcu and Wilfred Ndidi have established an increasingly effective midfield partnership. Kokcu’s broader league numbers also underline his importance: four goals and three assists across the last 10 league matches make him both Besiktas’ leading scorer and creator over that sample.
The attacking picture is more encouraging than last season’s fourth-place finish alone might suggest. Besiktas have added Leandro Trossard, Kassoum Ouattara, Elan Ricardo, Ilhan Fakili and Dusan Vlahovic, increasing the number of options available to Italiano. Hyeon-Gyu Oh is still expected to lead the line and has three goals across the last 10 league games.
Their recent league figures point towards steady pressure rather than chaos. Besiktas have averaged 14.6 attempts, 6.1 shots on target and 59.4% possession across their last 10 matches. Those numbers matter because Eyupspor’s defensive workload has been considerably less comfortable.
Eyupspor’s efficiency hides a bigger structural concern
Eyupspor have scored 1.4 goals per game across their last 10 league fixtures despite averaging only 6.8 attempts and 2.7 shots on target. That is a strong return from relatively little attacking volume.
Metehan Altunbas has four goals in that period, while Umut Bozok has supplied six assists. Those individual contributions suggest Eyupspor can still make limited possession count, which is useful against a side expected to control more of the ball.
The concern sits elsewhere. Eyupspor failed to keep a clean sheet in their final 12 matches across all competitions last season. They also lost five of their last 10 league games and conceded 1.3 goals per match from 10.4 opposition attempts.
That is hardly catastrophic, but it becomes more uncomfortable when set against Besiktas’ 14.6-shot average and superior possession numbers.
A rebuild makes the visitors harder to read
Ozhan Pulat has inherited a side that went through three head coaches after Arda Turan’s departure. Selcuk Sahin and Orhan Ak both had brief spells before Pulat took over, and the summer has brought another significant turnover in personnel.
Abdelhamid Sabiri, Mete Demir and Ahmed Abdullahi are among the arrivals, but Pulat is expected to introduce several new signings gradually rather than starting them all immediately. That may help preserve some continuity, although the departures of Berke Ozer, Marcos Felipe and Umut Meras leave obvious gaps in a squad already trying to repair its defensive record.
Jawad El Yamiq remains unavailable. Besiktas have one concern of their own, with Tiago Djalo to be assessed after picking up an injury against Hradec Kralove. Emmanuel Agbadou is the likely replacement if required.
Recent meetings offer Eyupspor some resistance
Besiktas have not lost any of the last four meetings, winning three and drawing one, but the latest finished 2-2. That record suggests Eyupspor have at least found ways to stay competitive in this fixture.
The difference now is preparation. Besiktas have already played and won four competitive matches, while Eyupspor’s summer evidence comes from friendly victories over Mardin 1969 and Istanbulspor.
That gap in sharpness may be more important than reputation or expectation. Besiktas have already demonstrated defensive control under Italiano; Eyupspor are still trying to establish it under Pulat.
Other opportunities in this market
- Match Result (90 Mins): Settles solely on which side leads after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. This eliminates the requirement for Eyupspor to score, though at a shorter price.
- Over 2.5 Goals: Settles successfully if three or more total goals are scored by either team combined. It covers qualifying scorelines like 2-1, 3-0, or 2-2, offering wider coverage than an exact score selection.
- Both Teams to Score (BTTS Yes): Settles as winning as long as both clubs score at least once, regardless of which side wins or if the fixture ends in a draw.
🎯 Main Match Recommendation
📊 Market Explainer
Win & Both Teams to Score
Selection: Besiktas to win and both teams to score. The selected team must win in normal time and both teams must score. If the selected team draws or loses, or either side fails to score, the bet loses.
Correct Score Market
Selection: Besiktas vs Eyupspor 3-1. Predict the exact score at the end of 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count unless the bookmaker states otherwise.
🎯 Pick 1: Besiktas to win and both teams to score @ 7/4
Besiktas enter their Turkish Super Lig opener with four consecutive competitive wins and clean sheets in Europa League qualifying, facing an Eyupspor side carrying a 12-match clean-sheet drought across all competitions from the end of last season. Vincenzo Italiano’s team generated 14.6 attempts, 6.1 shots on target, and 59.4% possession per game over their final 10 league fixtures. Orkun Kokcu recorded four goals and three assists in that span, while Hyeon-Gyu Oh added three goals. This volume of chance creation directly matches Eyupspor’s recent defensive tendencies, as the visitors allowed 1.3 goals per game from 10.4 opposition attempts across their last 10 league outings.
Eyupspor present a contrasting efficiency profile that supports their side of the market. Ozhan Pulat’s team scored 1.4 goals per game over their last 10 league fixtures despite averaging only 6.8 attempts and 2.7 shots on target. Metehan Altunbas scored four times in those matches, and Umut Bozok provided six assists. This high return from limited forward entries indicates Eyupspor can capitalise on few chances, which becomes relevant as Besiktas assess defender Tiago Djalo following an injury against Hradec Kralove, with Emmanuel Agbadou prepared to step in.
While Besiktas held Midtjylland and Hradec Kralove scoreless over two legs, Eyupspor scored two goals against them in their most recent meeting, a 2-2 draw. The combined evidence of Besiktas’ chance production and Eyupspor’s defensive streak makes a home win realistic, while Eyupspor’s scoring efficiency preserves the likelihood of a goal for the visitors.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Besiktas averaged 14.6 attempts and 6.1 shots on target per game across their last 10 league matches.
- Eyupspor failed to record a clean sheet in their final 12 matches across all competitions last season.
- Eyupspor averaged 1.4 goals per match despite taking only 6.8 attempts and 2.7 shots on target in their last 10 league outings.
Risk Factor: Besiktas have kept four consecutive competitive clean sheets; if they shut out Eyupspor again, the Both Teams to Score leg fails.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Averaging 14.6 attempts and 6.1 shots on target per match across their last 10 league fixtures.
12 consecutive matches without a clean sheet across all competitions to end last season.
🎯 Pick 2: Besiktas vs Eyupspor 3-1 @ 9/1
A 3-1 home win aligns with Besiktas’ chance creation and Eyupspor’s defensive concessions across recent league outings. Besiktas produced 14.6 attempts and 6.1 shots on target per match over their last 10 league fixtures, scoring five goals without reply across four recent Europa League qualifiers. Orkun Kokcu was involved in seven goals during those 10 league matches, contributing four goals and three assists, while Hyeon-Gyu Oh added three goals. Eyupspor, meanwhile, conceded 1.3 goals per match from 10.4 opposition attempts in their final 10 league games and failed to record a clean sheet in their last 12 competitive matches.
Eyupspor’s path to a single goal is supported by their finishing rate relative to shot volume. Over their last 10 league fixtures, they averaged 1.4 goals per game while generating only 2.7 shots on target per match. Metehan Altunbas scored four goals and Umut Bozok registered six assists during that run, demonstrating an ability to extract goals from few opportunities. Furthermore, the previous H2H meeting between these clubs finished 2-2, establishing that Eyupspor have breached this defence in recent competition.
The primary risk to this exact scoreline stems from game-state shifts. Eyupspor could fail to score if Besiktas replicate the defensive shape that earned four straight European clean sheets, or Besiktas could cap their tally at two goals if Pulat’s side drops deeper to protect an incomplete backline following the departures of Berke Ozer and Marcos Felipe.
Risk Factor: Exact scorelines are fragile; a single extra goal or a complete shutout defeats the 3-1 prediction.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the "Besiktas to win and both teams to score" market settle?
This market requires Besiktas to win the match at the end of normal time while Eyupspor score at least one goal. If Besiktas win 1-0, 2-0, or 3-0, the selection loses because Eyupspor failed to score.

Besiktas averaged 14.6 attempts per match in recent league play, whereas Eyupspor conceded 1.3 goals per game over their final 10 league fixtures and went 12 matches without a clean sheet. Eyupspor’s average of 1.4 goals per game supports their single goal.
How do competitive European matches affect Besiktas' readiness?
Besiktas have played four official Europa League qualifiers against Midtjylland and Hradec Kralove, winning all four without conceding. This gives them active competitive sharpness compared to Eyupspor's pre-season friendlies.
