Basaksehir to win
Basaksehir have been without a win on their last two games and will be looking to return to winning ways when they host hearts on their home ground where they have only lost 1 game in their last 18. Hearts on the other hand have nothing to fight for as they are already out of the competition alongside RFS. Basaksehir will be looking for victory in order to end the stage at the top of the Group A so as to avoid the 1/16 playoffs and just head for the 1/8 finals playoffs stage.
Both Teams To Score (No)
Basaksehir in their last 19 homes games have only conceded in just 3 games. Hearts will hardly find the back of the Turkish nets following their last encounter that they couldn’t even find a goal on their home soil when Basaksehir won 4-0 in Edinburg.
Hearts have conceded at least one goal in all of their last 8 games ahead of the game on Thursday night.
First Goal Time 1 to 24mins
A goal before the 24th minute mark is expected in this game following Basaksehir desire to finish at the top of the table. The Turkish side opened the score lines before the 24th minute mark on their last match while Hearts also conceded before the said time on their last match too.

Basaksehir are just three points behind the 2nd place on their local league table while they lead the Group A of the Conference League as a win on Thursday night will secure their hopes for top table finish.
Hearts

Hearts managed to find a 2-1 victory on Sunday, marking their second consecutive wins following their 2-1 win against RIFS. They although aren’t in a great form, sitting on the 6th position on their local league table and the 3rd place on the Group A table. The trip to Turkey will mostly yield them a disappointing outcome.
With nothing more to lose, Hearts will barely put up a fight when they visit Turkey rather they will try to keep their humiliation minimal while Basaksehir will go all out to secure a top table finish which only a victory can secure them, not knowing the outcome of what Fiorentina vs RIFS could be.
Safe Bet
The match is expected to produce many goals but a very safe bet is the Over 2 Goals option which refunds your money if the game ends with just 2 goals. More than two goals just as expected will reward. (Over 2 Goals – 1.13)
Basaksehir still misses Mesut Ozil who since his cameo action against Kayserispor in game week three has been out with a back injury. Ahmed Touba is stll out as well. Omer Ali Sahiner and Volkan Babacan are both expected back in the squad.
