Besiktas vs Eyupspor Prediction and Betting Tips

Besiktas will host Eyupspor at Tupras Stadium on Sunday in the second round of the 2025-26 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts will be looking to kick off the new domestic season with a solid performance and a win in front of their home fans.

Besiktas’ opening game against Kayserispor scheduled to be held last weekend was postponed due to the Black Eagles’ UEFA Conference League qualifiers match against St. Patrick's Athletic. Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s side struggled to find rhythm for a considerable part of last season but managed to push up to fourth place with a good run of results in the final weeks and will hope to secure even more success this year.

Eyupspor finished just two places behind Sunday's hosts in the league table last year despite it being their debut season in the Turkish top flight and will hope to build on that this year. The visitors are, however, off to a poor start this season, having been defeated 4-1 by Konyaspor on opening weekend despite having more of the ball and creating as many chances and will hope to get their first points of the campaign this weekend.

The sides have only met on three previous occasions going into Sunday's game. Besiktas have won each of those games by an aggregate score of 9-2.

Besiktas vs Eyupspor Prediction

Kara Kartallar are comfortable favorites going into the weekend and will receive a considerable boost from their home advantage and superior squad quality. The hosts will only need to avoid complacency to get all three points.

Eyupspor will be satisfied to get a draw when they make the trip across town to face the Black Eagles but will need to be at their best to avoid defeat.
