Beşiktaş Crystal PalaceNo absentees
Besiktas have scored seven goals in two Europa League wins, and our Besiktas vs Crystal Palace predictions back the Turkish hosts to edge a high-scoring Vodafone Park thriller when Crystal Palace visit at 8pm (UK time).
The hosts come in off back-to-back victories, most recently a 3-2 win away at Hoffenheim that followed a 4-1 demolition of Marseille on home soil. Goals have flowed at both ends, with seven scored and three conceded across those two outings.
Crystal Palace arrive with mixed returns, a thumping home win either side of a narrow defeat on the road. An open contest looks likely, and we side with Besiktas to come out on top in a game with goals in it.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson’s two picks lean into the goals and set-pieces on show: over 10.5 total corners and a Besiktas win with both teams to score.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 10.5 total corners | 8/5 (BoyleSports) | Both sides arrive in positive mood, and attacking football tends to bring corners. Besiktas have scored seven in two games, while Crystal Palace racked up four at home against Lech Poznan, numbers that point to sustained pressure and plenty of deliveries. Palace’s 3-2 defeat at Lyon was a similarly open affair, so neither team looks set up to sit deep. With both chasing a result, the flag count should tick along nicely. The market has priced over 10.5 at 8/5, which reads as a cagier expectation than the recent goal-fests of these two teams suggest, and we are happy to take the corners over. |
| Besiktas to win and both teams to score | 5/2 (bet365) | Our 2-1 call sits neatly with this market, and the numbers support it. Besiktas have conceded in both league-phase games, so a clean sheet looks unlikely even in victory, while Crystal Palace have found the net in each outing, including four against Lech Poznan. The hosts’ seven goals in two games make them a threat at one end, and their leaky back line keeps the visitors interested at the other. A home win with goals at both ends is how we see a lively Vodafone Park night unfolding, and 5/2 is a tempting price for it. |

How Besiktas go into the game
Besiktas sit fourth in the league phase on a maximum six points, scoring freely with seven goals in two games. Their latest outing brought a 3-2 win away at Hoffenheim, backing up an emphatic 4-1 home success over Marseille.
The flip side is a defence that has shipped three already and is yet to keep a clean sheet. That blend of firepower and generosity at the back makes them box-office at home, and the odds install them as favourites to take all three points here.
How Crystal Palace go into the game
Crystal Palace occupy 15th with three points from their two matches, a record of one win and one defeat. They were beaten 3-2 away at Lyon last time, having opened with a resounding 4-0 home win over Lech Poznan.
The Eagles have scored six and conceded three, so goals have followed them around Europe. Their only away test ended in defeat, which is a mild concern heading to a raucous Vodafone Park, but they carry enough threat to trouble a porous Besiktas back line.
Besiktas vs Crystal Palace head-to-head
There is no competitive history between these clubs, making Thursday a first meeting. Without past results to guide us, current form takes over: Besiktas’ home scoring record against a Palace side that has already lost once on their European travels.
Besiktas vs Crystal Palace predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Besiktas to win | 11/10 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Home advantage and seven goals in two games make Besiktas a sound pick, with Palace’s 3-2 reverse at Lyon exposing their defensive frailty away from home. |
| Both teams to score – Yes | 1/2 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Both sides have scored in every game so far, and Besiktas are yet to keep a clean sheet, making goals at both ends the standout likelihood. |
| Over 2.5 goals | 8/11 (Paddy Power) | ⭐⭐⭐ | The two teams have combined for 13 goals across four matches, so the over looks comfortable on recent scoring trends. |
| Besiktas 2-1 | 17/2 (Sky Bet) | ⭐⭐ | A one-goal home win fits Besiktas’ habit of scoring plenty while conceding, and Palace’s knack of finding the net keeps the margin tight. |
Besiktas vs Crystal Palace score prediction
Goals look nailed on given both defences have leaked in every game, and the question is really who edges it. Besiktas’ home form and attacking numbers give them the nod, though Crystal Palace should score given their own recent output. We land on a 2-1 home win. Score prediction: Besiktas 2-1 Crystal Palace.
