This gripping Super Lig match between Pendikspor and Istanbul Basaksehir on 14 April 2024, offered a considerable amount of food for thought to the bettors. Istanbul Basaksehir managed to slightly edge out Pendikspor in a thrilling 3-2 victory in a match that saw both sides play with tenacity and skill.

Pendikspor opened their account early in the game with a goal at 17:21 during the first half, putting them in a favorable position. However, Istanbul Basaksehir was quick to retaliate with an equalizing goal at 36:10, ensuring the contest remained evenly poised.

Despite Pendikspor retaking the lead early in the second half with a goal at 55:55, Istanbul Basaksehir turned the tables with two subsequent goals at 50:21 and 80:10, solidifying their victory.

Statistical factors played a crucial role in dictating the match outcome. Pendikspor's discipline was concerning as they incurred three yellow cards, thus increasing the risk of losing players at crucial moments. Their discipline issues culminated at 90:56 with a red card, putting them at a significant melee disadvantage.

On the other hand, Istanbul Basaksehir had a cleaner disciplinary record with only one yellow card. However, their repeated offside play, with a tally of three, could have potentially reduced their goal-scoring opportunities had they been more strategic in their forward movement.

In terms of set-pieces, Pendikspor had six corner kicks contrasted against Istanbul Basaksehir's four, seeming to have a marginally better attacking impetus. Yet, it was Istanbul Basaksehir who utilized their opportunities better, reflecting in the final scoreline.

Fouls were relatively low for Pendikspor with only four, and Istanbul Basaksehir had twice as many at eight. This didn't reflect in the yellow cards however, as Istanbul Basaksehir maintained their cool and kept the infringements low.

In conclusion, the match revolved around Istanbul Basaksehir's resilience, ability to return and better handle discipline. Pendikspor, despite taking the lead twice, were unable to sustain this. Discipline and better utilization of set-piece opportunities clearly had the most significant impact on the match's outcome. This makes it clear that bettors should not only consider scoring prowess, but also factors such as discipline, set-piece opportunities, and even the frequency of offside decisions when placing bets.
