Analysis and forecast for the match on matchday 18 of the Turkish championship “Hatayspor” – “Besiktas” (12/25/2023)
Gone were the group stage of the European Cup and 17 rounds of the Turkish Super League. On December 25, four matches will be played on matchday 18. In one of them, at the Yeni Hatay stadium in Antakya, local teams Hatayspor and Besiktas will compete. The starting whistle will sound at 20:00 Moscow time.
In the last eight games Hatayspor only beat Galatasaray (2-1). They also tied with Antalyaspor (3-3) and Ankaragucu (0-0). The white-burgundy team lost to Fenerbahçe (2-4), Kayserispor, Samsunspor, Istanbulspor (1-2 in all three cases) and Basaksehir of Istanbul (0-1).
As a result, Volkan Demirel’s team fell to 11th place in the Turkish championship standings. Overall, this is a very good position for the Club. The best achievement of the white-burgundy team is sixth place. In total, they spent three seasons in the Turkish Super League.
“Hatayspor” has very limited reserves. Their squad is made up of local footballers of medium quality and little-known foreign players. With a high probability, the white and burgundy team will end the season in its usual place, not far from the relegation zone.
Besiktas has much bigger ambitions. Traditionally it is one of the strongest clubs with the most titles in the Turkish championship. There are many famous footballers with experience playing in Europe: Cenk Tosun, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ante Rebic and Vincent Abubakar.
On the eve of the current season, the top scorer of the Kazakh national team, Baktiyor Zainutdinov, who previously played for CSKA Moscow, also joined the “black eagles”. It is true that at Besiktas he participated in 19 matches in all official tournaments, in which he scored only one goal.
And in general, blacks and whites are going through tough times. In the last six rounds of the Turkish Super League they only beat Istanbul Basaksehir (1-0) and Samsunspor (2-1). Besiktas also drew with Ankaragucu (1-1). They lost to Antalyaspor (2-3), Fenerbahce (1-3) and Alanyaspor (1-3).
As a result, the “black eagles” fell to fifth place in the championship standings. They also did not advance from the group in the Conference League. In this context, the Club’s management decided to resort to a change of coach. Besiktas have reportedly made an offer to former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The black and whites also confirmed their interest in collaborating with former Russian national team coach Stanislav Cherchesov, who achieved considerable success with Ferencvaros. However, the list of potential candidates includes six more well-known mentors.
One way or another, we suggest checking P2 to get odds of 2.20. Without a doubt, the change of coach will revitalize the Black Eagles. Perhaps it is with Cherchesov that they will be able to achieve the greatest success. In conditions of very limited reserves, the specialist managed to cause a lot of sensations. His appointment will undoubtedly benefit Zainutdinov.
Prediction and bet for the match of the 18th round of the Turkish Super League “Hatayspor” – “Besiktas” on December 25, 2023
Hatayspor is one of the main outsiders in the championship and the latest results confirm its status. Even in their stadium, the whites and burgundy are unlikely to avoid defeat. Besiktas is having some problems, but has a better squad and performance throughout the season. And the change of mentor will likely have a positive effect on the Black Eagles.
Tender: Besiktas wins by 2.20.
