Besiktas take on the visitors Hatayaspor in the round 33 match of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Friday, April 25th at Tupras Stadium (Istanbul).
Besiktas still haven’t fully bounced back from their decline. The Eagles regressed significantly last season. The club responded in a chaotic manner: changing managers, terminating contracts with players. Ultimately, they finished a disappointing 6th in the league, though they did salvage the campaign with a Turkish Cup victory. This season started with promise as new head coach Van Bronckhorst oversaw a 5-1 thrashing of rivals Galatasaray, with star signing Immobile making an immediate impact. However, by winter, Giovanni had been sacked due to inconsistent results. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over in January, but the team has continued to struggle, including a recent draw with Goztepe — the same side that knocked them out of the cup.

Hatayspor were at the center of the devastating earthquake two years ago. That tragedy destroyed the club’s infrastructure and claimed the lives of several individuals, including popular Ghanaian forward Christian Atsu. The team withdrew from competition that year but returned in 2023/2024, narrowly avoiding relegation with 41 points — just one more than the relegated clubs. Unfortunately, they haven’t built on that survival. Only Adana Demirspor have performed worse this season, and Hatayspor are once again sinking fast. After a brief revival with three wins in four games, they’ve fallen back into a losing streak, including a recent 2-3 defeat to Konyaspor.
In 2023, the Black-and-Whites from Istanbul won both meetings. But last year, the sides played out two high-scoring draws. A home win in a lively match is the popular pick — but Besiktas are being overrated. Take the under on 3.5 total goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
