Turkish Cup
Besiktas - 1461 Trabzon
Pick: Besiktas -1.50
Odds: 1.80
Bookie: Pinnacle
Stake: 10/10
Turkish Super Lig giants Besiktas welcome 1. Lig main relegation candidates 1461 Trabzon in a match of Group C in the Turkish Cup.
Besiktas are leaders in the Super Lig, with a point more than rivals Fenerbahce but in 2nd place in Group C behind their opponents tonight 1461 Trabzon, who have better goal difference. Their clash on Sunday ended in a 1:1 draw, so the Black Eagles will be highly motivated to bounce back with a win in front of their own fans and lift their spirits before the start of the Super Lig at the weekend.
Prior to that, Besiktas were on a five-match winning streak in all competitions, scoring a total of 14 goals and only conceding 3 in the process. They have been impressive at home with 7 wins in their 10 outings in the league and the cup in Istanbul so far this season. Besiktas also have the best attacking record in the Super Lig, after finding the back of the net 41 times in 17 fixtures.
Meanwhile, 1461 Trabzon are in 1st position in Group C with better goal difference than Besiktas. However, they are sat second from bottom in 1.Lig (2nd tier of Turkish football), where they are winless since September. Trabzon’s away form is far from impressive as well, having lost 5 of their last 6 matches on the road, conceding a total of 10 goals in them. It’s also worth noting that they have the 2nd worst offensive and 3rd worst defensive records in 1.Lig.
As for team news, Besiktas have no major injury worries, whereas Trabzon will have to do without their injured goalkeeper Aydin and key defender Gokce.
The class gap between the top of the Super Lig and bottom of 1.Lig is too wide and Besiktas should be able to record a comfortable routine win tonight. We see great value in Besiktas -1.5 AH line at odds of 1.80, where they need to win by 2 goals or more for the bet to come in.
