Fenerbahce vs Besiktas Prediction and Betting Tips | April 27, 2024

Fenerbahce invite local rivals Besiktas to the Sukru Saracoglu in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday (April 27).

The hosts have endured a poor run of form, winning one of their last five games across competitions. In their previous league outing, they drew 2-2 at Sivasspor last week, ending their seven-game winning streak.

Fred broke the deadlock in the first half, but Bengali-Fode Koita equalised for Sivasspor in the 57th minute. İrfan Kahveci restored their lead in the 80th minute, but Rey Manaj bagged the equaliser for Sivasspor in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

If Fenerbahce win, they will reduce the deficit to leaders Galatasaray to four points. A win for Besiktas, meanwhile, will boost their chances of a top-four finish.
