On February 28th, in the quarterfinals of the Turkish Cup, Besiktas will face Konyaspor, and our analysts have prepared a prediction for this match.
Besiktas
The "Black Eagles" have little to boast about this season, as the team is not contending for the championship, currently sitting in fourth place in the Turkish Super Lig, albeit trailing third-placed Trabzonspor only on additional parameters. Their performances in European competitions were unsuccessful; Besiktas failed to advance from the Conference League group stage, which can be considered a failure given the tournament's level. Expectations from such a club include winning trophies, so the Turkish Cup represents the last chance to somewhat salvage what hasn't been the brightest season.
Konyaspor
Konyaspor has different concerns as the team strives to maintain its place in the top Turkish division. Currently, the club sits in 18th place in the league table, which is the relegation zone, trailing the 16th-place safety zone by just one point. In their last match, the club managed to defeat direct competitor Hatayspor 2-0 at home. The team has shown progress in results, with 7 points from four matches being a good indicator for an underdog. Amid the fight for survival, the Turkish Cup may be seen as a waste of time, as the chances of winning the trophy are minimal.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- The opponents have played each other twice this season, with Besiktas winning both matches by the same scoreline of 2-0, with the latest match taking place just over a week ago.
- Besiktas has not lost at home in five consecutive matches in all competitions, with 4 wins and 1 draw.
- Konyaspor has failed to win away from home in regulation time for 13 consecutive matches.
Besiktas vs Konyaspor Prediction
The hosts are predictably favored, being superior in class and status, but they still need to demonstrate their superiority on the field. Konyaspor's main advantage is that there won't be pressure on the team for results, whereas for Besiktas, an error in such a match would be inexcusable. We suggest placing a bet on the hosts winning outright.
