Tüpraş Stadyumu plays host to Beşiktaş versus Fenerbahçe in Süper Lig (matchday 15). Kick-off: Saturday 7 December 2024 at 16:00 UK time.

Form & Momentum

Beşiktaş have collected 1.30 PPG across their last 10 games: 3W 4D 3L. Last five: L L D L D. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.30 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

In front of their own supporters, Beşiktaş have posted 6W 2D 2L from their last 10 home games — 2.00 PPG. They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.30 — Beşiktaş are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.

Fenerbahçe (all games): 8W 1D 1L across their last 10 — 2.50 points per game. Last five: W W W W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.80 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.

Fenerbahçe's form when playing away from home: 6W 4D 0L across their last 10 road games (2.20 PPG). They are averaging 2.50 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 5 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (50%) — they are hard to break down on the road.

On a straight form reading, Fenerbahçe are the stronger side — 1.20 PPG clear of the hosts (2.50 vs 1.30). Backing them with draw insurance is the conservative play if the outright away price appears short.

H2H History

Neither side has dominated the 5 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Beşiktaş, 2 for Fenerbahçe and 2 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral.

These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.0 per game across the 5 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 27 Apr 2024, ended Beşiktaş 1–2 Fenerbahçe — a Fenerbahçe win.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Beşiktaş goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 51 games, 25 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 54% of those occasions; of the 19 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 32%; BTTS occurs in 52% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (home games).

Fenerbahçe goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 51 games, 25 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 72% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; they lead at the break 59% of the time; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 71%; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 51%; they keep a clean sheet 47% of the time.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Beşiktaş 53% versus Fenerbahçe 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Beşiktaş 47% | Fenerbahçe 67%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Beşiktaş surrender their half-time lead 32% of the time, while Fenerbahçe have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 71% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Beşiktaş 1.48 xG and Fenerbahçe 2.70 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 1.095 / defence 1.239 | Fenerbahçe attack 1.687 / defence 0.856. League average goals — home 1.576 / away 1.292. Fenerbahçe have an above-average attack rating of 1.687, which lifts their away xG to 2.70. Beşiktaş's defence rating of 1.239 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Fenerbahçe's projected output up. Data: built from Beşiktaş's last 51 games and Fenerbahçe's last 51.

Result probabilities: Beşiktaş 18% | Draw 19% | Fenerbahçe 62%. Fair-value odds: Beşiktaş 5.46 | Draw 5.21 | Fenerbahçe 1.60. The model has a clear lean to Fenerbahçe (62%) — a 43pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 79% | BTTS Yes probability 73% | Total xG 4.18. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 79% — a total xG of 4.18 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 73% — both xG figures (1.48 / 2.70) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Fenerbahçe as the most likely outcome at 62% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 19% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 4.18 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 79% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Beşiktaş's last 10 home games and Fenerbahçe's last 10 away games) averaging 3.5 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.0 goals per game across 5 H2H matches.

Poisson assigns a 73% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Beşiktaş 70% (last 10 home games) | Fenerbahçe 50% (last 10 away games).
