Istanbul Basaksehir is currently ranked fifth in the Turkish Super Lig standings, and they are 15 points behind the second-placed Fenerbahce after losing 1-0 to Istanbulspor, despite having 13 shots and a 61% possession on Saturday. They have lost four of their last seven league matches, with one victory and defeats against Kayserispor, Alanyaspor, and Besiktas prior to their loss last weekend.
Despite their recent struggles, Basaksehir has been a formidable team when playing at home throughout the season, winning nine of their 13 league games at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium. They have won four of their last five home league matches, and six of their previous eight, while also keeping a clean sheet in eight of their home matches this season, including a 1-0 win over Ankaragucu earlier this month.
Although Basaksehir has only won two of their last 10 matches across all competitions, they are typically difficult to defeat when playing at their own stadium, having won several matches in their home ground.
