Istanbul Basaksehir will look to make a flying start to their Conference League campaign when they take on Inter Turku in the first leg of the second qualifying round. The Turkish outfit have yet to begin their domestic season, but they head into Thursday's clash in high spirits after impressive preseason victories over Salzburg (2-1) and Puskas Academy (2-0). Those results highlighted Basaksehir's growing confidence at both ends of the pitch. Their home record has also been outstanding, with four wins and one draw from their last five home matches. During that spell, they averaged 2.4 goals scored while conceding just 0.2 per game, keeping clean sheets in 80% of those fixtures.
Inter Turku, meanwhile, are enjoying an excellent campaign in Finland, extending their unbeaten run to 16 matches in all competitions after eliminating FK Sarajevo in the previous round. In-form striker Alie Conteh remains the visitors' biggest attacking threat after a string of prolific displays, but midfielder Johannes Yli-Kokko is unavailable through injury. Inter have proved difficult to beat, avoiding defeat in each of their last ten matches, although six of those ended in draws. They have averaged 1.7 goals per game away from home, but facing a strong Basaksehir side on Turkish soil represents a much sterner challenge.
Basaksehir are a real force to be reckoned with at home and looked sharp throughout preseason. Therefore, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Basaksehir are defensively well organised, while first-leg ties are often played with caution).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Wednesday 22 July 2026 at 18:45.
