Besiktas open their pre-season preparations at Brann Stadion in Bergen, Norway, facing Hungarian side Gyirmot in what looks like a one-sided friendly on paper. Coach Vincenzo Italiano will use this fixture to assess his squad depth ahead of the competitive season, while Gyirmot under Ádám Weitner arrive as significant underdogs with very little top-level exposure in recent months. The Turkish giants carry a global club ranking of 185, compared to Gyirmot’s 1654, which frames just how wide the gap between these two sides is.
One player to watch from Besiktas is whoever Italiano deploys as the creative engine in central midfield, given the side’s recent tendency to dominate possession in their Super Lig fixtures. For Gyirmot, keep an eye on their forward line, which managed to find the net in four of their last five outings despite inconsistent results.
Hot stat: Gyirmot’s last five matches produced goals in every single game, but they conceded in four of those five fixtures, pointing to a leaky defensive structure that Besiktas should be able to exploit with ease.

Besiktas vs Gyirmot Prediction
Besiktas are the clear class act in this fixture. With a 57% win rate across 23 matches this year and a recent form run showing multiple consecutive wins, Italiano’s squad arrives in considerably better shape than their Hungarian opponents, who have won just one of six matches in 2026 and carry a 17% win rate.
The best value bet here is a Besiktas win with over 2.5 goals in the match. Friendly matches at this stage of pre-season often produce open, high-scoring games as coaches rotate heavily and defensive structures remain loose. Gyirmot’s defensive record across their recent fixtures gives Besiktas plenty of room to score multiple times, and a Turkish top-flight squad should have more than enough quality to put this one away comfortably.
Besiktas have shown a disciplined but direct style in their Super Lig outings, pressing high and generating shots in volume. Gyirmot, on the other hand, have committed fouls regularly in tight Hungarian lower-division games and will likely struggle to cope with the pace of a side operating several levels above them. That physicality difference could also contribute to a higher corner count, as Besiktas will likely force Gyirmot into defensive clearances repeatedly.

Team Analysis
Besiktas wrapped up their Super Lig campaign with a mixed run of form. Their most recent match ended in a 2-2 draw against Rizespor, a side ranked 598th globally, which was not an ideal finish. Before that, they fell 1-2 to Trabzonspor, a top-tier Turkish rival. The two results before those defeats tell a more positive story: a 2-0 win over Gaziantep and a goalless draw against Karagumruk. Across their last 15 matches in the form column, Besiktas show more wins than losses, and their overall 2026 record of 13 wins from 23 games confirms they are a functional, competitive side. Italiano will be using this friendly to sharpen fitness and test rotations.
Gyirmot’s recent form is far less encouraging. Their last five matches produced a 1-1 draw with Haladas, a 1-2 defeat to Slovan Bratislava B, a 1-1 draw with Petrzalka, a 1-0 win over MTK Budapest II, and a 2-3 loss to SC Sopron. The opponents across those games range from lower Hungarian divisions to reserve teams, which puts the quality of those results into context. They have only managed to keep a clean sheet once in that stretch, and their goal tallies are modest. Against Besiktas, that lack of defensive solidity will be tested at a completely different level.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Besiktas the Favourite
No official bookmaker odds were provided for this fixture at the time of writing, which is not unusual for a pre-season friendly involving a lower-ranked side. Based on the available data and the ranking gap between these clubs, Besiktas should be heavily favoured across all major markets. We expect the odds to reflect a strong Besiktas win probability once they are published.
The absence of bookmaker odds here is telling in itself. Most sportsbooks do not price pre-season friendlies of this nature, particularly when the quality gap is this significant. If odds do become available, the value will likely sit on the Besiktas side across most markets, with the over 2.5 goals line offering the best potential return given how open these fixtures tend to be.
Possible Starting Lineups
Besiktas Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Mert Günok
- DF: Valentin Rosier, Gabriel, Necip Uysal, Tayyip Talha Sanuç
- MF: Salih Uçan, Al-Musrati, Rafa Silva
- FW: Ciro Immobile, Milot Rashica, Gedson Fernandes
Italiano is expected to field a 4-3-3 shape, at least in the first half, before rotating heavily. Mert Günok holds the goalkeeping spot as first choice, while Gabriel anchors the central defense. In midfield, Al-Musrati provides the defensive screen and Rafa Silva operates as the link between lines. Up front, Ciro Immobile is the name to watch. Even in a friendly setting, the Italian striker brings movement and finishing quality that should cause Gyirmot’s backline real problems. Expect significant squad rotation from the 60th minute onward.
Gyirmot Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Horváth Ádám
- DF: Szabó Bence, Varga Kristóf, Fekete Zsombor, Kovács Dániel
- MF: Tóth Barnabás, Molnár Patrik, Németh Ákos
- FW: Szilágyi Dominik, Papp Milán, Farkas Gábor
Weitner is likely to set up in a compact 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, prioritising defensive shape and trying to limit the damage against a clearly superior opponent. The squad data available is limited, so the lineup above is based on the most commonly used personnel across their recent fixtures. To be honest, the identity of individual Gyirmot players matters less here than the collective defensive discipline Weitner will demand from his side. Keeping the scoreline respectable would represent a positive outcome for this club.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a comfortable Besiktas win. The gap in club quality, squad depth, and competitive experience is too wide for Gyirmot to bridge, even in a low-stakes friendly setting. Besiktas have the personnel and the tactical structure under Italiano to control this match from the opening whistle. Gyirmot’s recent defensive record, conceding in four of their last five games against far weaker opposition, points toward a multi-goal Besiktas performance.
The over 2.5 goals market is the headline pick. Both teams to score lands as a no, since Gyirmot’s attack has shown very little to suggest they can trouble a Super Lig-caliber goalkeeper. Corner kicks should accumulate as Besiktas push forward in numbers, making the over 7.5 corners line worth monitoring once odds are posted. The hot tip remains Besiktas to win by two or more goals, which perhaps offers the clearest value once the market opens.
