Besiktas vs Hatay Prediction

The two sides are in need of maximum points for markedly different reasons. The hosts still have a shot at climbing into the top four and a spot on the continent, although their Turkish Cup final clash with Trabzonspor also offers them a shot at the UEFA Europa League.

Hatay, for their part, boosted their survival hopes with their victory last time out. The win saw them end their five-game winless run and left them one point away from safety.

We are backing the hosts to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Besiktas 3-1 Hatay
