Istanbul Basaksehir has been struggling offensively previously but the team has found the back of the net in four of the last five home games. On the other hand, Gent has also been on the scoring side in four of the last five games in all competitions. Both teams have also conceded goals in at least three of the recent four attempts. Since the last meeting of the teams featured a BTTS pattern as well, the current numbers point out the same outcome for this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Istanbul Basaksehir

Gent has rattled the net more than once in only one of the last five meetings. But the home side looks optimistic in this regard as they have hit the target multiple times in four of the last five meetings at home. Istanbul Basaksehir has also allowed more than one goal in only one of those games. Moreover, the Buffalos have conceded a total of 11 goals in the last five games away from home.
