The first of two encounters in the Europa League 8th Finals, as the hometeam İstanbul Başakşehir will try to edge København in their own ballpark.

The visiting København played their last game only four days ago, a Superliga match.

København have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2600 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

İstanbul Başakşehir form and stats

İstanbul Başakşehir participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the 3rd qualifying round and lost against Burnley.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu as İstanbul Başakşehir have scored 32 goals to get 30 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the Super Lig are 9-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 4 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in this competition. The İstanbul Başakşehir fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu and will expect new points from this game. İstanbul Başakşehir has played twelve games in a row here without a defeat. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena.

Happy days for İstanbul Başakşehir in their previous game, a Super Lig match away at Goztepe that ended with a 3-0 victory. Before that, İstanbul Başakşehir had a Super Lig home game versus Gazisehir Gaziantep which ended with a victory 3-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how İstanbul Başakşehir have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won one time, drawn one and lost zero.

The manager O. Buruk will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Trabzonspor in only three days.

The İstanbul Başakşehir manager O. Buruk has got the team scoring with 32 from 13 home games in the league. İstanbul Başakşehir are not conceding a lot of goals here at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 12 from 13 matches.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
