Basaksehir vs Viking

Basaksehir are aiming to build on a 3-1 lead when they host Viking in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League qualifier.

The Turks have looked sharp lately and will be feeling confident heading into this clash. They already showed their superiority in the first meeting and should complete the double over the Norwegians on Wednesday.

Basaksehir News

Basaksehir were full value for their win in the first leg as they dominated the encounter despite conceding first. They fought back from a goal down with second-half efforts from Deniz Curuc, Christopher Operi, and Davie Selke earning them the victory.

That result extends Basaksehir’s winning run to five straight matches across all competitions. Cagdas Atan’s team also claimed a 4-0 victory over Charno More in the home clash of the previous round.

Aside from the first meeting with Viking, Basaksehir tend to strike first and have opened the scoring in four of their last five matches. Their last two fixtures have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Viking News

Viking will be disappointed with their performance in the first leg as they appeared to capitulate after taking the lead. They made a bright start and led at the break through Sander Svendsen’s early effort, but struggled in the second half.

That has been the only blip in a run of good results for Viking, who have won four of their last five matches across all competitions. They have also won their last three away matches and claimed a 2-1 victory at Sandefjord in a domestic fixture last weekend.

Viking are generally good going forward, but their open style often leaves them exposed at the back as seen in the first leg. The last seven matches for the team managed by Bjarte Aarsheim and Morten Jensen have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

The only previous meeting between both teams was last week's first leg clash, which ended 3-1 in favour of Basaksehir.

Verdict

Istanbul Basaksehir v Viking FK

Viking’s last seven matches have produced over 2.5 goals, including the first leg and this clash could produce a similar outcome. Basaksehir have scored first in four of their last five matches, and that trend is expected to continue.

Having put a dent in Viking’s recent good form, Basaksehir are expected to claim the upper hand once again and should complete the double.
