Besiktas welcome Corum to Tüpraş Stadium on matchday four of the Süper Lig 2026/27 season. Vincenzo Italiano’s side sits 13th after a mixed start, with three points from two games, while Corum arrive in Istanbul with just one point and a negative goal difference. The interesting angle here is that Besiktas have been significantly more productive in European competition than in league play so far, raising questions about whether Italiano has fully settled on his best domestic lineup.
Two players stand out ahead of this fixture. Václav Černý leads Besiktas in goals over the last five matches with two strikes and has been their most direct attacking threat, combining high shot volume with consistent minutes. For Corum, Jesús Ramírez has shown the most intent up front, scoring once and generating nine shots across two league appearances, which makes him the visitor’s primary danger man.
A notable stat from the recent data: Besiktas have accumulated 37 corner kicks across their last five matches, averaging over seven per game. That delivery volume from wide areas is something Corum, who have managed only eight corners in the same period, simply cannot match.

Besiktas vs Corum prediction
Besiktas are heavy favourites and the data backs that up. Over the past 30 days they have won five of seven matches, while Corum have gone winless in their last four, picking up two draws and two defeats. The gap in technical output is stark: Besiktas registered 90 total shots and 3,126 passes across their last five games compared to Corum’s 24 shots and 1,023 passes. That is not a marginal difference.
We think a Besiktas win to nil is a realistic market to target. Corum have scored only twice in five matches and their pass accuracy sits at 85%, which sounds reasonable until you compare it to Besiktas at 88% with nearly three times the volume. Corum’s defensive structure will be under sustained pressure and they have shown little capacity to punish errors at the other end.
Besiktas average 76 free kicks across five matches, a high number that signals they win set-piece opportunities consistently. Corum commit far fewer fouls (18 across five games versus Besiktas’s 56), which suggests they tend to sit deep and absorb rather than press. That approach may keep the score from getting out of hand early, but it also limits Corum’s ability to build attacks. Honestly, a low-scoring but one-sided game feels like the most likely outcome.

Team Analysis
Besiktas have been inconsistent in the Süper Lig but strong in their European qualifying campaign. Their last five matches include a 3-0 win over Kauno Zalgiris and a 1-0 victory against Eyupspor, though they also lost to Alanyaspor 0-1 and fell to Kauno Zalgiris 0-1 in the return leg. The defeat to Alanyaspor is the one that stands out as a domestic concern, given Alanyaspor are currently 6th in the table with only two games played. Salih Özcan and Emirhan Topçu form a reliable base in midfield, with Özcan completing 395 passes in five games and adding five interceptions. Orkun Kökçü has also chipped in with a goal and has been active in transition. The squad has depth, but Italiano has not yet found a fully settled attacking combination.
Corum’s recent run tells a difficult story. They lost to Igdir 1-3, drew back-to-back games against Bandirmaspor and Genclerbirligi, and then held Galatasaray to a 2-2 draw before losing to Kasimpasa 0-1 in their most recent outing. The draw with Galatasaray is the headline result and shows they can compete on their day, but that was at home and against a side that had already conceded four goals in three games this season. Away from home, Corum have looked far less stable. Marcos Felipe in goal has made 11 saves across two matches, which means he has been kept very busy. That workload is likely to continue against Besiktas.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Besiktas the favourite
- Moneyline Besiktas 1.47 | Corum 6.70
- Draw 4.39
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The best available moneyline price on Besiktas sits at 1.47 with Pinnacle, which reflects the bookmakers’ 65% win probability. Given Corum’s attacking output over recent weeks and their away record, the odds on a Besiktas win are fair but not particularly generous. The draw at 4.39 looks overpriced given the gap in form and squad quality. We think the value play is targeting specific markets like clean sheet or corners rather than the outright winner, where the margin is already baked in.
Possible Starting Lineups
Besiktas possible starting eleven
- GK: Alexander Nübel
- DF: Emirhan Topçu, Tiago Djaló, Emmanuel Agbadou, Ridvan Yilmaz
- MF: Salih Özcan, Wilfred Ndidi, Orkun Kökçü, Junior Olaitan
- FW: Václav Černý, Oh Hyeon-gyu
Nübel is the clear first-choice keeper with six saves in five games and consistent minutes. The back four picks itself based on appearances, with Tiago Djaló and Agbadou as the central pair and Ridvan Yilmaz providing width and two assists from left back. Salih Özcan anchors the midfield alongside Ndidi, giving Italiano two disciplined holders. Orkun Kökçü operates higher up and has been the team’s most goal-involved central midfielder. Černý and Oh Hyeon-gyu lead the attack, with Černý’s two goals making him the standout name to watch. Besiktas will likely set up in their preferred 4-1-4-1 shape, with Kökçü pushing into the ten role.
Corum possible starting eleven
- GK: Marcos Felipe
- DF: Hrvoje Smolčić, Alexandre Manuel Penetra Correia, Andrei Borza, Gökhan Sazdağı
- MF: Alfredo Fredy, Ylber Ramadani, Mohammed Diomande, Ahmed İldiz
- FW: Jesús Ramírez, Serdar Gürler
Marcos Felipe has been active between the posts and will need to be at his best again. The back four is built around Smolčić and Correia as the central pairing, with Sazdağı adding defensive coverage from the right. Alfredo Fredy has the most passing volume in midfield and contributed one assist, making him Corum’s main creative outlet. Ramírez leads the line as the most dangerous forward based on shots and goals. Uğur Uçar will likely mirror Besiktas’s 4-1-4-1 setup, prioritising shape and compactness over pressing high up the pitch.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Besiktas should win this one without too much drama. Their shot volume, set-piece frequency, and passing output all point to a team that will control the match territorially. Corum’s defensive record away from home is a concern, and their attack has not generated enough to trouble teams of Besiktas’s quality.
We think Besiktas win 1-0 or 2-0 is the most likely scenario. Corum will sit deep, Marcos Felipe will make saves, and Besiktas may not run up the score, but the clean sheet feels probable given Corum’s two goals in five games. The corner market (over 7.5) also looks attractive given Besiktas’s average of over seven per game. Maybe the best overall approach is combining a Besiktas win with under 2.5 goals, which reflects the likely shape of a disciplined but one-sided contest.
