İstanbul vs Eyüpspor prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 28, 2024
On October 28, at the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium, İstanbul vs Eyüpspor will take place as part of the 10th round of the Turkish Super Lig. Here's an individual prediction from the experts at Dailysports.
İstanbul
The team played at "its own" level last season. They finished fourth, even ahead of Beşiktaş, earning the opportunity to represent Turkey in the UEFA Conference League. In the qualifiers, they passed through La Fiorita, Saburtalo, and St. Patrick’s (five wins and a draw in Ireland). However, in the main stage, the Turks lost at home to Rapid Vienna and were then defeated by Celje.
In the Super Lig, their performance has been decent, largely thanks to a slew of goals from Piatek. They have won more than half of their matches, with their only losses coming away to Samsunspor and in the latest round to Trabzonspor.
Eyüpspor
The club is a newcomer to the Turkish Super Lig. It’s another Istanbul-based team that has spent most of its history in lower divisions. Recently, they've made progress, and last season, they even won the First League. This is virtually the only managerial achievement of the rookie coach, Arda Turan.
Before their debut in the top flight, the team was strengthened by the additions of Ruben Vezo, Dubois, Shelvey, and Emre Mor. Their start was impressive: they remained unbeaten in their first five rounds, and even after that, 1-2 away defeats to Beşiktaş and Konyaspor were offset by a home win, 3-2, against Gaziantep. Against Göztepe, Kutucu scored early, and they managed to hold on to that advantage.
Match Facts
- İstanbul has lost four times in their last six matches.
- Eyüpspor has won two of their last three games.
- İstanbul has scored 29% of their goals between the 76th and 90th minutes, while Eyüpspor has scored 29% of their goals between the 61st and 75th minutes.
Probable Lineups
- İstanbul (probable lineup): Şengezer – Lucas Lima, Opoku, Gürler, Keman – Davidson, Özdemir, Özcan, Pelkas, Türüç – Piatek
- Eyüpspor (probable lineup): Özer – Erkin, Claro, Yalçın, Dubois – Kabasakal, Midtsjø, Ampem, Saïss, Kutucu – Bruno
