Can Basaksehir upset the champions? - Predictions & Betting Tips

First things first: The home side are the clear underdogs in this Basaksehir - Galatasaray betting tip. This has to do not only with the experiences from the past seasons, but also with the performances and results in the current 2025/26 season. But let's take it one step at a time: Basaksehir are currently 13th in the table, in our opinion far too low for the standards of a club that not so long ago was still part of the international scene and at least managed to win one league title in its history. But those days seem to be over. Nuri Sahin's team have only managed 6 points in 7 games so far, meaning they have not even picked up one point per game on average. It is therefore doubtful that it will be enough to pick up more points against the defending champions & of all teams. Especially as Basaksehir are still waiting for their first league home win of the 2025/26 season. At the same time, it must also be said that they are still without a defeat at home, with all of their previous home games ending in a draw. However, recent results do not necessarily suggest that this will remain the case. Basaksehir have not won any of their last five league games, losing three and drawing two in the same period before the international break.

Most recently, they were beaten by Göztepe (0:1) and Konyaspor (1:2). The 2-0 win against Karagümrük in the season opener is the only one this season. The direct duel also speaks for itself in this Basaksehir - Galatasaray betting tip. Conference League participants Basaksehir have not won any of their last 6 games against "Gala", with 5 defeats and just one draw. All in all, the conditions for this clash next Saturday are not good at all. Especially as they have only managed one win in their last 10 matches.

Galatasaray want to extend their lead - analysis & betting predictions

Galatasaray Istanbul is and remains the measure of all things in the Turkish Süper Lig. Even in the previous season, the traditional club was no match for them and before this Basaksehir - Galatasaray betting tip, it looks as if this will also be the case in 2025/26. The defending champions only dropped their first points on the final matchday before the international break, in a 1-1 draw with arch-rivals Besiktas Istanbul. Apart from that, the current league leaders still have an absolutely flawless record. Not only were they able to beat multiple champions Liverpool 1-0 in the Champions League, but things have also gone like clockwork in the league so far. Gala have collected 22 points in 8 games, with a goal difference of plus 17. Before the draw against Besiktas, they won 1:0 away against Alanyaspor and 3:1 against Konyaspor. Galatasaray are still unbeaten away from home this season and have scored at least one goal in every single championship match, scoring at least two goals in 6 out of 8 games and thus in three quarters of all matches. The best conditions for a betting tip on a win for the visitors next Saturday. However, it is worth checking whether the odds on offer are attractive or whether you should even place a handicap bet with a 0:1 handicap for "Gala". Because we also consider a win with a difference of more than one goal to be very likely.

In terms of personnel, Okan Buruk's team is certainly superior to Nuri Sahin's team. Especially as the reigning champions are hardly missing any regular players at the moment. Not for nothing have 5 squad players already scored at least twice, the top scorer is currently Mauro Icardi, the Argentinian already has 5 goals and is therefore a hot candidate for a Basaksehir - Galatasaray betting tip in the form of a goalscorer bet. However, the top scorer is another player, Baris Yilmaz, who has also impressed with 3 goals and 3 assists so far. The best conditions to return to winning ways next weekend. Anything other than a complete success for the visiting team would be a surprise.
