Trabzonspor - İstanbulspor predictions

A quick look at the odds reveals just how imbalanced this matchup is. Trabzonspor are almost certain to walk away with 3 more points towards the Super Lig table, and İstanbulspor fans should probably temper their expectations.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and İstanbulspor will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Getting back into the game in their last outing was never going to be an easy task for Trabzonspor. They conceded early in the first half and went on to be heavily defeated Samsunspor. Therefore, their fans will be expecting redemption this time around.

İstanbulspor supporters knew that they probably couldn’t hope for much the last time we saw them despite the team’s home-field advantage. The betting odds clearly marked them as the underdogs, so the HT/FT defeat could be seen coming from a mile away.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

İstanbulspor’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 9 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

If Trabzonspor have ambitions to move up in the standings, the chances of them doing so are quite slim at this point. They should be able to win this matchup, but there’s barely any time to tackle the 32 -point lead they’ll need to get into the Champions League.

Relegation seems inevitable for the away team, who only managed to gather 16 points over the course of the season. The $ODDS_AWAY_ODDS odds on them winning this bout showcase just how dire their situation is. Especially considering this is one of the last games they’ll get to play.

This matchup was very one-sided last season, and most bookies are expecting Trabzonspor to continue their spree of dominance. They won against İstanbulspor more than once, and even managed to record a solid goal difference in each instance.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.38, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
