If we exclude the cup match from 2014, the teams played for the first time in December. Back then, "Istanbul" won 3-1 as the away team.
Basaksehir
Bashaksehir has failed to live up to the expectations of their fans in the current Super Lig campaign. The team was clearly aiming for a spot in European competitions, but they couldn’t deliver. Currently, they sit in fifth place in the table, trailing third-placed “Besiktas” by 17 points. However, there is still a chance to secure a European spot through the Turkish Cup, where “Bashaksehir” won 1-0 against “Ankaragucu” in the first leg of the semifinals.

Umraniyespor
Umraniyespor was considered one of the main contenders for relegation before the start of the season, and they have yet to challenge that status. With 26 points, Mustafa Era’s team occupies the last position in the table, trailing the safety zone by eight points. It is unlikely that they will be able to overcome such a handicap.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
Bashaksehir can afford to play without much pressure on the result today, giving a chance to some reserve players. Even with a possible rotation, the hosts are significantly stronger than "Umraniyespor," who are already halfway into the First League. It makes sense to favor the favorite in this matchup. We believe that the guests have no chance. The prediction is a victory for "Bashaksehir." Such an outcome is offered with odds of 1.69 at 1xBet bookmaker. "Bashaksehir" is not known for high-scoring matches, but today it is reasonable to expect goals from the hosts. "Umraniyespor" will be forced to take risks and attack. However, the guests are also likely to score a consolation goal, as sitting back and defending makes no sense for them. The bet is both teams to score. Such a wager can be placed at odds of 1.71.
