Match announcement
Gaziantep FK
Current form
Gaziantep's performance in the Super League cannot be called high-quality. Yes, the team is in eighth place in the standings, but they manage to score points in matches with teams from the lower part of the ranking, but there are considerable problems in matches with stronger opponents. Also, one cannot ignore the fact that the hosts of the upcoming meeting are the only team in the top 8 of the national championship that has conceded more than scored: 24-26.
Despite the instability of the performances, the club is presented as a clear favorite in the upcoming match, and it is quite difficult to disagree with this assumption, because it is on its home field that the club usually does not have problems with gaining points.

1.50Tip and bets
Gaziantep is an order of magnitude higher in terms of play, plus they will play on their home field, and the head-to-head games are on the side of the team from the Super League, which won the last two matches with an advantage of two goals. Istanbulspor rarely plays with such strong opponents on the road, and, as we believe, the club will not be able to score points in the upcoming meeting.
Our prediction is Gaziantep's victory with odds of 1.60
Bet on total
Gaziantep have kept a clean sheet in their last five home games, and the games were against opponents like Antalyaspor, Rizespor, Basaksehir, who are better than their upcoming opponents in terms of game quality. We are inclined to believe that the hosts will continue to win in front of local fans and will not concede.
Our prediction is that at least one will not score with odds of 2.20
Bet on corners
If Gaziantep plays in the same mode as in recent months, they will dominate the entire match at home and win not only by score, but also by other indicators.
Prediction - Gaziantep will take more corners with odds of 1.50
