Full Analysis

Besiktas Park plays host to Beşiktaş versus Fenerbahçe in Süper Lig, Regular Season - 21. Kick-off: Sunday 14 February 2027 at 12:00 UTC.

Form & Momentum

Beşiktaş have collected 1.90 PPG across 10 Süper Lig outings this season: 6W 1D 3L. Last five: L W L W D. They are averaging 2.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Beşiktaş, so this record blends games from this season and last.

In front of their own supporters this season, Beşiktaş have posted 7W 1D 2L at Besiktas Park — 2.20 PPG. They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.

Fenerbahçe (all games): 5W 1D 4L across 10 Süper Lig outings this term — 1.60 points per game. Last five: W W W L L. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.40 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. This season is still relatively young for Fenerbahçe, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Fenerbahçe's form when playing away from home: 4W 2D 4L across 10 road games this term (1.40 PPG). Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

A near-identical PPG reading — 1.90 for Beşiktaş, 1.60 for Fenerbahçe — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

H2H History

Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 10 meetings: Beşiktaş 4W, Fenerbahçe 4W, 2D.

The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 5 Sep 2026, ended 2–1 with Beşiktaş winning.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

Trading Data

Beşiktaş goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (44 games, 22 at home): they score before half-time in 68% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 64% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (home games).

Fenerbahçe goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (44 games, 22 at away): they score before half-time in 82% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 62% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 64% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 46%.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Beşiktaş 57% versus Fenerbahçe 59%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Beşiktaş 59% | Fenerbahçe 68%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Beşiktaş 1.57 xG and Fenerbahçe 1.04 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Beşiktaş attack 1.275 / defence 0.799 | Fenerbahçe attack 1.038 / defence 0.774. League average goals — home 1.587 / away 1.253. Beşiktaş carry an above-average attack strength of 1.275 — their λ of 1.57 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Fenerbahçe's defence strength of 0.774 is below average — they are conceding at a rate that inflates the home xG figure. Beşiktaş's defence rating of 0.799 is below average — the home backline is amplifying the visitor's projected output. Data: 44 Beşiktaş games / 44 Fenerbahçe games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Beşiktaş 50% | Draw 25% | Fenerbahçe 25%. Fair-value odds: Beşiktaş 2.00 | Draw 4.00 | Fenerbahçe 4.00. Beşiktaş hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 48% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.61. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 48%/52% — the total xG of 2.61 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Beşiktaş as the most likely outcome at 50% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Beşiktaş if the outright odds are short.

The Poisson model projects 2.61 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 48% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.

Poisson assigns a 51% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: Beşiktaş 50% | Fenerbahçe 30% from recent games — a notable divergence.
