9.40Tip and bets
The Eagles are the favorites in the bookmakers' line in the upcoming cup match, but we did not overestimate their capabilities. Besiktas has been performing uncertainly away from home this season, and is currently on a streak of six away matches without a win. Sivasspor, on the contrary, is a typical home team, and it is on its home field that it scores the lion's share of points in the championship. Plus, Omer Erdogan's team won the previous two home face-to-face matches. They are capable of playing for a draw today, at the very least.
Our prediction is Sivasspor will not lose at odds of 1.76
Bet on total
When choosing a bet on the total, we will pay attention to the fact that in the four previous face-to-face matches, more than two goals were not scored. It is unlikely that open football should be expected in the cup game.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.05
Bet on the first half
Besiktas rarely force events on the field, trying to start their matches in a cautious manner. Thus, in three of the Eagles' five previous matches, a draw was recorded in the first half, which we do not rule out today.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.34
