Basaksehir open their 2026/27 UEFA Conference League campaign at home against Inter Turku in the Second Qualifying Round on 22 July. Nuri Şahin’s side enter as heavy favourites, carrying the weight of a significantly higher club ranking and domestic Turkish top-flight experience. What makes this tie worth watching is that Inter Turku arrive in good shape, unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions, and they have already navigated a Europa Conference qualifying path through Sarajevo.
For Inter Turku, forward Alie Conteh is the player to watch. He has scored four goals across his last four matches, making him the clear attacking threat Basaksehir’s defence must account for. In midfield, Ilari Kangasniemi has logged 360 minutes over his last four appearances and leads the team in pass volume, acting as the engine that keeps Inter Turku’s build-up moving.
A hot stat heading into this one: Inter Turku have generated 25 corner kicks across their last five matches, averaging five per game. That set-piece volume against a Basaksehir side whose recent European prep included a 1-3 loss to Cracovia suggests dead-ball situations could be a genuine source of danger, even away from home.

Basaksehir vs Inter Turku prediction
Basaksehir are the clear favourites here and that assessment is well-founded. They are a higher-ranked club entering a home European tie against Finnish opposition. Şahin’s side have shown they can beat quality opponents, taking down Salzburg 2-1 in recent weeks, and they tend to win these types of qualifying matches at home. We predict a Basaksehir win to nil as the best value option in this market.
Inter Turku have not lost in six games, but three of those results were draws, and their last fixture against Jaro ended 0-0. They struggle to convert pressure into goals consistently, despite generating high shot and corner volumes. Against a Turkish side with European experience and a disciplined defensive structure, a clean sheet for Basaksehir is a realistic outcome.
Inter Turku average 22 fouls across their last five matches and have picked up four yellow cards in that span. Their physicality combined with Basaksehir’s tendency to win free kicks in dangerous areas adds another layer of risk for the Finnish side. Basaksehir under Şahin tend to control possession methodically, and Inter Turku’s passing accuracy sits at around 90% in their own data but their press-heavy approach can leave them exposed on transitions against technically superior sides.

Team Analysis
Basaksehir head into this fixture off the back of a strong confidence-boosting result. Their most recent match saw them beat Puskas Akademia 2-0, a clean and controlled performance against a side ranked 445th in the world. Before that, they pulled off a notable 2-1 win over Salzburg, a result that speaks to their capacity for big moments in European competition. Their form over the last 30 days shows two wins, one draw, and one loss from four matches, which is a reasonable platform heading into a home qualifying tie.
The 1-3 loss to Cracovia and a 1-1 draw with Ried earlier in the run do show some inconsistency, particularly in defensive organisation when opponents press aggressively. That said, at home in European play, Basaksehir have the tools to impose their game.
Inter Turku come into this fixture on a genuinely impressive run. They beat Sarajevo 2-1 in the second leg of their previous qualifying round after drawing the first leg 1-1, showing composure under pressure. Their last match, a 0-0 draw with Jaro, was less convincing, but they remain unbeaten across their last six outings. Over the last 30 days, they have three wins and three draws from six matches with no defeats.
Their 3-2 win over VPS earlier in the month showed their attacking quality, with Alie Conteh contributing four goals across four recent matches. Vesa Vasara’s side play a 4-3-3 shape and rely on wide attacking movement and set-piece delivery to create chances. The question is whether that approach is enough to unlock a Turkish side with European pedigree.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Basaksehir the favourite
- Moneyline Basaksehir 1.22 | Inter Turku 14.60
- Draw 7.00
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The moneyline odds reflect the bookmakers’ view clearly. Basaksehir at 1.22 with bet365 represents the ceiling of value on the straight win market. The draw at 7.00 is long for a reason. Inter Turku at 14.60 is a price that only makes sense as a small speculative bet. The 78% win probability attached to Basaksehir aligns with what the recent form, club ranking, and home advantage all point toward. The best approach here is to look beyond the flat win and target the clean sheet market for additional value.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Basaksehir should win this match. They are playing at home, they carry more European experience, and they have demonstrated they can beat sides ranked far above Inter Turku. The Salzburg result is the clearest evidence of their quality this summer, and a home European tie against Finnish opposition is precisely the kind of match they are built to control.
Inter Turku’s unbeaten run is admirable and Alie Conteh gives them a genuine goal threat, but their attacking output relies heavily on set pieces and volume rather than clinical finishing. Three draws in six matches suggest they are more resilient than dangerous. We predict Basaksehir to win without conceding, with a 2-0 scoreline the most likely outcome. The corner total going over 8.5 is also worth backing given Inter Turku’s habit of generating set-piece opportunities even in matches they do not win.
