Basaksehir vs Kasimpasa Prediction 23.12.2024 | Super Lig

• Competition: Super Lig
• Date: 23.12.2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium (Istanbul)

Fifteen rounds of the Turkish Super Lig have been played so far.

Last season's fourth-placed team, Başakşehir, is currently not having their best season. They are in 7th place on the table with 22 points. In the last round, they suffered a 3-1 defeat away to Fenerbahçe. Due to a reckless mistake by their defender Ousseynou Ba, Başakşehir played the entire second half with one player less, which prevented them from securing at least a point.

In the meantime, a draw against Cercle Brugge eliminated their chances of advancing to the knockout stage of the Conference League. Now, they can focus exclusively on their domestic league performances.

On the other hand, Kasımpaşa is also having a much weaker season compared to the last one. With 19 points, they are currently in 13th place in the Super Lig. In the previous round, they ended a three-game winless streak with a 2-0 victory over Eyüpspor. Goals were scored by Josip Brekalo and Antonín Barák, while Haris Hajradinović stood out with two assists.

Başakşehir vs Kasımpaşa pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Both teams have underperformed this season and will try to salvage what they can by the end of the campaign. The top two spots on the table are out of reach, but third and fourth place - and a spot in European competitions next season - remain attainable. To achieve that, both teams will need to go on a streak of positive results.

In the past three seasons, matches between these two clubs have been filled with goals. Neither team will be satisfied with a draw in this match, which guarantees another exciting duel. We can expect at least one goal in each net.
