Fenerbahce
- Fenerbahce are in good form, winning 3, drawing 1, and losing 1 of their last 5, and come into this game on the back of a 3-game winning streak.
- Sarı Kanaryalar have beaten Konyaspor 4-2 in the Super Lig, claimed a 1-2 scalp of Olympique Lyonnais away from home in Champions League qualification, and beat Samsunspor 0-2 in their most recent away game.
Besiktas
- Besiktas have started the Super Lig 2026/2027 season with a whimper, sitting 13th in the table after earning 3 points from 2 matches, and losing once.
- Their form is improving, however, with 3 wins and 2 losses in their last 5.
Head-to-Head
Fenerbahce have won 2 of the last 5 meetings, Besiktas have won 3, and there have been no draws.
Fenerbahce
Greenwood has scored 2, and looks their best bet for an anytime goal in this derby.
Besiktas
Vaclav Cerny leads the Super Lig 2026/2027 scoring with 1 in 2 for Besiktas, but Junior Olaitan's 1 assist and creative spark looks just as useful, with the Super Lig's most valuable Nigerian player already looking at ease in his new team.
Betting Insights
- Fenerbahce are the deserved favourites at 1.67 for this one, although Besiktas do have a great recent record against them, while the 3.95 draw and 4.65 on the visitors look very low.
- The clash between Fenerbahce's transition play and Besiktas' frontal press should lead to an open match, and over 2.5 goals at 1.65 and both teams to score at 1.62 both point to a match that should deliver at both ends.
Prediction
Fenerbahce have looked better so far, however, and should get the edge in this classic derby match.
