We’ve arrived at the final day of the Turkish Super Lig season and what a journey it’s been. There have been highs and lows for all 20 clubs in the top flight and as we look ahead to Sunday, it’s clear to see that there’s still plenty left to be decided in this division. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what promises to be a fascinating clash between Adana Demirspor and Istanbul Basaksehir.
Adana Demirspor Form GuideAdana Demirspor may have been around for decades but it finally feels like they’re starting to hit their stride at the elite level. Last season, they were able to finish in 4th place in the league, and while they may have fallen away slightly as this season has progressed, they’re beginning to put the right foundations in place in order to achieve long-term sustainability.
Adana are currently sat down in 11th place and while they can’t be relegated or reach the top half, we’d imagine that they’ll want to do everything in their power to make sure they drop down as few places as possible.
Istanbul Basaksehir Form GuideDespite only being founded back in 1990, Istanbul Basaksehir have been able to make a real splash over the last few decades - and especially in the last couple of years. It was only back in 2019/20 that they won the Super Lig for the first time in their history, and since then, they’ve reached the final of the Turkish Cup and have really established themselves as one of the top dogs.
Basaksehir currently occupy a place in the Conference League position as they sit in 4th with 58 points. They’ve had a really strong season and they’ll want to end it on a positive note, and for them, that means securing their spot in the top four.
Match PredictionOn the final day of the season, you can throw the rule book swiftly out of the window. There’s so much on the line and with the stakes being that high, and with these sides being confident going forward, we can’t see an outcome other than over 2.5 goals scored and a whole lot of entertainment for neutrals.
