Basaksehir vs CS U Craiova Prediction and Match Preview

Basaksehir vs CS U Craiova Preview

Istanbul Basaksehir recorded their second straight draw last weekend after sharing the spoils with Kayserispor in the Turkish Super League. While the hosts will be disappointed not to have claimed maximum points, they can take confidence from their eight-game unbeaten run across all competitions.

In Europe, Basaksehir have been solid, winning three and drawing one of their last four matches. At home, they remain difficult to beat as well, with one win and two draws from their three competitive fixtures this season.

CS U Craiova, on the other hand, come into this clash after a 2-1 victory over FK Csikszereda in the Romanian Superliga. The visitors have been in fine form recently, winning six of their last seven matches across all competitions.

However, their European record has been inconsistent, with two wins and two losses from their last four games. Notably, both defeats came away from home, and they will be wary of suffering a third consecutive road loss in continental competition.

Who Will Win The Match Between Basaksehir and CS U Craiova?

We tip Basaksehir to win because they are unbeaten in all their competitive fixtures this season (3W, 2D), including three wins and one draw in their last four European matches. CS U Craiova have shown stability, but their struggles away in Europe, with back-to-back losses, give Basaksehir the edge.

Will Both Teams Score?

Yes, we expect both teams to score because Basaksehir have found the net in each of their last seven matches, while CS U Craiova have scored in each of their last 18 games across all competitions.

How Many Goals Can Be Expected?

We expect over 2.5 goals because CS U Craiova’s last ten matches averaged 3.9 goals per game, while Basaksehir’s last ten averaged 3.7, suggesting another high-scoring encounter, especially considering both teams possess dangerous attacking players and have struggled defensively throughout recent fixtures.

Basaksehir vs CS U Craiova Prediction

Istanbul Basaksehir come into this clash on an eight-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, though their last two league games ended in draws. They’ve shown good European form, winning three and drawing one of their last four matches, and remain unbeaten at home this season with a mix of wins and draws.

CS U Craiova, on the other hand, have won six of their last seven matches and head into this tie with plenty of confidence. However, their European away form is shaky, having lost their last two on the road. With both sides regularly finding the net and averaging high goal counts, a lively encounter is expected, but Basaksehir’s stability makes them favourites.
