For Basaksehir, this match will be a test of strength and an attempt to rehabilitate themselves after a painful 1-5 defeat in the previous game. The team is eager to regain the trust of the fans and show that they are ready to get on the road to victory. However, Eyupspor comes with its own attitude and is not going to concede. Under the leadership of Arda Turan, the team has transformed and shows a bold attacking game. This confrontation is not only a chance for Basaksehir to restore their reputation, but also an opportunity for Eyupspor to confirm that their bold style is not a temporary phenomenon, but a new force in Turkish soccer.
Istanbul have lost only once at home in their last seven matches. Eyupspor have suffered two consecutive defeats away. In addition, the hosts in the last European Cup match crushingly lost to Celje 1:5, which hit the ego of Cagdas Atan’s wards. Therefore, the team will be very motivated to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans.
