Match Preview
As İstanbul Başakşehir prepares to host Universitatea Craiova in the Europa Conference League, both teams come into the match with contrasting recent form. Başakşehir, unbeaten in their last five matches (DDWWW), will look to leverage their home advantage at the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu. In contrast, Craiova has also shown resilience, winning their last three games after a shaky start (WLWWW). A notable angle to consider is the lack of goals in their previous head-to-head encounters; none of the last ten meetings have seen both teams scoring, nor have they featured over 2.5 goals. This trend suggests a potentially tight contest, making the odds for both teams to score (BTTS Yes at 1.85) and over 2.5 goals (1.9) intriguing. Given Başakşehir's strong home record and Craiova's recent form, this match could hinge on a single moment of quality, making a low-scoring affair likely. Expect a tactical battle where defensive solidity will be paramount.
