Besiktas to win in tight match
Match context
Besiktas JK have the most to lose in Sunday's Super Lig 2026-2027 matchup with Eyupspor at Tupras Stadyumu, Turkiye. They are a strong 1.34 favorite in the match betting, with Eyupspor 7.7 and the draw 5.1. The market seems to be looking at the game in terms of the top-flight's 2026-2027 campaign, where Besiktas will be the more likely winners, and it's hard to argue with that.
Tactics
Vincenzo Italiano has set up Besiktas JK in a 4-3-3, with a high possession and pressing style that sees them try to force turnovers in the top third and move the ball forward in waves. There is a lot of ball movement and depth to their play, but Eyupspor will be sitting deep and looking to frustrate the hosts on Sunday.
Ozhan Pulat has set up Eyupspor in a compact, counter-punching shape that will sit deep, be disciplined defensively and look to break quickly into the space behind Besiktas' advanced fullbacks.
Head-to-head a hard habit to beat
The head-to-head and Besiktas' recent form make it difficult to justify anything other than a home win in the result market. Besiktas have won 4 of the last 5 meetings between the clubs across all competitions and Eyupspor are winless in that run.
Besiktas have won their last 3 and Eyupspor have won their last 2, but both clubs have been involved in some more competitive games recently.
Both teams to score is tightly priced, but the under 2.5 goals line at 2.45 looks like it could land in this game if Eyupspor sit deep and frustrate their hosts.
- Besiktas have 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats in their last 10 across all competitions, while Eyupspor have won 5, drawn 2 and lost 3 in their last 10.
Eyupspor can keep it close
Eyupspor can get enough of a foothold in the game to keep it tight if they stay compact and take advantage of their counter opportunities on Sunday.
Besiktas have split their last 4 home games in all competitions with 2 wins and 2 defeats, but they have scored just 4 goals in their last 4 at home. Eyupspor's away stats in all competitions are 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat, scoring 1.50 goals per game and conceding 2.00.
Eyupspor can frustrate the home side and nick chances on the counter and 2-0 Besiktas JK is the correct score prediction.
