In the third round of the Turkish Cup group stage, on February 27, 2025, Eyüpspor will face İstanbul. This direct clash between the teams is crucial as they compete for the right to play in the tournament's playoffs.
Our prediction for the Eyüpspor vs İstanbul match
Arda Turan's club won the First League last season, which gave them the opportunity to debut in the country’s top division. The ambitious İstanbul representative, who had previously played (and even won the title) at this level, collected 61 points in the 2023/2024 season, finishing fourth in the final table.
In the current season, the Super League newcomer has been a revelation—they were contenders for third place for a long time, trailing only the two main giants. However, in February, they lost to Trabzonspor and drew 1-1 with Kayserispor. At home, they were beaten 1-3 by Beşiktaş in the most recent round. The regular İstanbul club also didn’t impress in the Conference League, progressing through qualifying but managing just six points in the group stage, while their domestic league form slipped. They lost 0-1 at home to Bodrum in the last round.
Başakşehir began the Cup with a 2-2 draw against their strong neighbor Galatasaray. They followed this with a resounding 4-1 victory over Çorum. The hosts, after defeating Etimesgut in qualifying, won narrowly 1-0 at home against Boluspor. However, they lost 1-3 away to the more experienced Konyaspor.
