Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Turkish Süper Lig match.
Adana Demirspor's dismal results have left the club with minimal hopes of salvaging their current season. A home match against Beşiktaş is unlikely to yield points for them, especially as Beşiktaş recently appointed a new manager and are aiming for a strong push into the top three.
Adana Demirspor
Over the course of 14 matches this campaign, Adana Demirspor have claimed just two points, and they were docked three points by the federation at the start of the season. Demirspor find themselves six wins shy of safety, displaying the league's poorest records both offensively (10 goals) and defensively (conceding 34). In their recent fixture against Göztepe (1:3), even an opponent's red card could not prevent Adana Demirspor from conceding, with Göztepe generating 2.52 xG over 90 minutes.
Beşiktaş
Beşiktaş made a confident debut post-Giovanni Van Bronckhorst's dismissal, securing a victory in the derby against Fenerbahçe (1:0). Notably, they boast one of the best defensive records in the Süper Lig (15 goals conceded)—trailing only Fenerbahçe's record (14). In the Europa League group encounter against Bodø/Glimt (1:2), the Istanbul side fielded an experimental squad, giving attacking stars Ciro Immobile and Milot Rashica a rest.
Adana Demirspor vs Beşiktaş Prediction
Adana Demirspor have suffered seven consecutive home defeats in the Süper Lig. Beşiktaş will likely capitalise on the shortcomings of this struggling side—they are vigorously pursuing a top-three finish and cannot afford to drop points against a lower-tier opponent. The difference in class should be decisive, so without hesitation, we’re backing an away win for Beşiktaş.
