Big derby match in Turkey in the focus: Accumulator Tips for October 28

Galatasaray vs Besiktas (Super Lig)

Galatasaray: W-W-W-D-D

Besiktas: W-W-D-L-W

Galatasaray, the current two-time champion of Turkey, convincingly defends their title in the Super Lig, holding the top of the table with a five-point advantage. In the first eight rounds, they recorded seven victories, while their only setback was a 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa when they lost a three-goal lead. In the last match against Antalyaspor, they dominated with six big chances and more than two expected goals (xG), winning 3-0. In the Europa League, they beat Elfsborg 4-3 after taking a three-goal lead at half-time, but the Sw⛎edish team clawed their way back into the game, reducing the score. Besiktas have also had a strong start to the season, unbeaten in the first eight rounds with six wins and two draws. Under the leadership of coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst, they currently hold second place and are only five points behind Galatasaray. In the last game, they celebrated against Lyon in the Europa League with a narrow 1-0 victory, where they managed to keep a clean sheet despite as many as 30 shots on their goal. Besiktas showed offensive power in the domestic championship with 17 goals scored and only five conceded. Although this is one of the biggest derbies of the Turkish championship, where any outcome is possible, we believe that at this moment, Galatasaray is much closer to victory. The reasons for this are that they are now playing at home, are in somewhat better shape, and are better ranked in the rankings, and also, we expect to see goals on both ends.

Mallorca vs Athletic Bilbao (La Liga)

Mallorca: W-L-W-W-W

Athletic Bilbao: W-W-L-W-D

This season marks a significant turnaround for Mallorca, whose total of 17 points from the first ten rounds represents their best start in the top of Spanish football since 2009/10. For a club that has often struggled to secure a stable position in the upper part of the table, such a promising start could mean a turning point. Their recent form at home, which includes back-to-back triumphs at the Mallorca Son Moix Stadium against Real Sociedad and Rayo Vallecano by identical 1-0 scores, has seen them now in a position to make it three La Liga wins in a row in front of their home fans for the first time since June 2023. On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao enters this match with a lot of confidence thanks to their recent successes. They secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against Slavia Prague in midweek, in a UEFA Europa League match, keeping them unbeaten in the group stage. This triumph was of great importance for their European ambitions, but also proof of the team's defensive resilience and ability to withstand pressure. If we look at the last meetings between these two teams, we will see that in the previous period, they were quite equal. In fact, four of the last five matches ended in a draw. We a🧸lso count their clash in the Copa Del Rey final, where it was 1-1 in the regular part of the match, but Athletic Bilbao won on penalties. We expect a tough match without goals or only a few.

AVS vs Porto (Liga Portugal)

AVS: W-D-L-W-D

Porto: W-D-D-D-D

Last season, AVS qualified for the first league for the first time through the playoffs and so 🌱far they are making good use of the opportunity, surprising many as they were considered favorites for relegation. Vítor Campelos' side are currently tenth in the league and enter Monday's game on a three-game unbeaten run, with two draws and one win. Porto have been unlucky for the last two seasons as they failed to win the title despite their high-scoring performance. In the 2022/23 season. they finished with 85 points, and last season they finished in third place with 72 points. This season they have recorded a great streak of seven wins in eight league games, but they are in second place due to Sporting's 100% performance. Porto are the clear favorite in this match due to their much better form and position in the standings, and we believe that anything but a victory for the visitors would be a real surprise. Even though AVS are playing at home, we believe that Porto are justifiably a big favorite and our betting suggestio🎀n is for the visitors to win by at least two goals.
