Basaksehir to outplay Basaksehir
Istanbul Basaksehir FK sits in 5th place in the Super Lig 2024/2025 with 54 points from 34 matches, keeping them in contention for European competition. Our Istanbul Basaksehir FK vs Adana Demirspor prediction is shaped by Adana Demirspor, who have -2 points after 34 matches, are in 19th spot and have endured a disastrous season set to continue on Sunday.
Cagdas Atan is at the helm for Basaksehir since September 2023, making them a tactically disciplined outfit that is difficult to beat in the 2024/2025 campaign. They are very solid at the back, controlled and organised in the centre of the field and can transition from defense to attack with pace when needed. At home, Basaksehir have conceded 20 goals in 17 league matches.
Adana’s away form is dire, and has been for the entirety of the 2024/2025 Super Lig season. The visitors have lost back-to-back away games, and they’ve failed to take a win in either of their last 2 visits to Basaksehir. Mustafa Avci has done a solid job on the touchline since he took over as head coach at the end of January 2025, but his tactical acumen hasn’t been enough to stop the rot for Adana, who have lost five consecutive matches and look all over the place. For more context, the Istanbul Basaksehir FK vs Adana Demirspor preview highlights how both teams arrive at this critical stage of the season with contrasting fortunes.
Back the hosts to dominate at both ends
The odds on Istanbul to win on Sunday are a massive -833, and Adana are +980 to even take a draw from this contest. We will look elsewhere for value, and with Basaksehir’s firepower and Adana’s defensive fragility in mind, the ‘over 2.5 goals’ market appears to be a better alternative according to our Istanbul Basaksehir FK vs Adana Demirspor prediction.
Krzysztof Piatek is on a roll for Basaksehir, and his 21 Super Lig goals in 32 appearances this season is comfortably the highest in the squad. Piatek is well supported by Danijel Aleksic and Bertrand Traoré, two players who have a bit more quality and creativity than the Polish goal machine. Adana’s top scorer, Yusuf Barasi, has seven goals to his name, and his team have scored just one per-game on average on their travels this term.
This clash will be a question of Basaksehir’s tactical philosophy against Adana’s reactive approach, and the hosts should have too much for their visitors. For punters, this Istanbul Basaksehir FK vs Adana Demirspor betting tips segment underlines the value in backing Basaksehir’s superiority at both ends of the pitch. Adana can be dangerous on the counter with sporadic attacks, and Mario Balotelli has the ability to make something out of nothing on his day, but the structure just isn’t there for them to do any damage to a disciplined and well-drilled Basaksehir outfit.
