Süper Lig Showdown: Fenerbahce vs Besiktas
The Süper Lig is known for its fierce rivalries and unpredictable outcomes, and the upcoming match between Fenerbahce and Besiktas promises just that. With kick-off set for May 4, 2025, at 17:00 UTC, this fixture could deliver fireworks. Fenerbahce enters as the favorite (1.53), but Besiktas (5.4) could spring a surprise, according to NerdyTips’ AI analysis.
Team Form and Historical Trends
Fenerbahce has been dominant this season, winning 69% of their last 171 matches. Their recent form includes 6 wins in 10 games, averaging 2.4 goals per match. However, their defense has been slightly leaky, conceding 1.3 goals per game.
Besiktas, meanwhile, has struggled for consistency, winning only 50% of their last 150 matches. Their recent record shows just 3 wins in 10, with 1.4 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per game. Despite this, their historical away win rate (28.6%) in the Süper Lig suggests they can defy expectations.
In their last meeting (April 27, 2024), Fenerbahce edged a 2-1 victory. But with Besiktas’ higher odds this time, an upset could be brewing.
