Başakşehir's equivalent run reads 8 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses from 20, with 33 scored and 26 conceded. Zooming into their last six Süper Lig games specifically, they've lost three, including a heavy 5-0 defeat away at Amed, alongside two wins and a draw.

Beşiktaş's underlying form looks the sturdier of the two right now, though both samples include non-league fixtures.

Comparative Team Statistics: Besiktas vs Istanbul Basaksehir

A long-running derby-ish rivalry

These two have met many times down the years, going back well over a decade, and the head-to-head is genuinely mixed rather than one-sided. Draws crop up regularly, and both sides have had spells of getting the better of the other.

The two most recent meetings both went to Beşiktaş, a 2-1 win in September 2025 and a 3-2 win last February, but before that Başakşehir had won and there were a couple of draws too. It's worth remembering this history spans several different squads and seasons, so it's not a strong guide to how this specific version of either team will play.

Where they sit in the table

Six games into the league season, Beşiktaş are third with 12 points from four wins and two defeats, scoring 14 and conceding just 7. Başakşehir sit 12th with 7 points from two wins, a draw and three losses, with 10 scored and 11 against.

That's an early gap, and it lines up with the shape of their recent form rather than contradicting it.

Players carrying the goal threat

E. Shomurodov has been Başakşehir's main source of goals, with 6 in his last 6 appearances, so containing him will matter for Beşiktaş. On the other side, D. Vlahović has been prolific too, netting 5 in just 4 matches for Beşiktaş.
