LiontipsCorum vs Istanbulspor. Prediction and bets on the Turkish Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Corum finished last season in fifth place in the First League and played in the promotion playoffs. In the quarterfinals, they managed to beat Kocaelispor with a score of 2:1, but in the semifinals, the team was eliminated by Bodrumspor, which got a place in the Super League. Now the hosts are performing much less successfully and occupy only 12th place in the standings. Nevertheless, the density in this part of the table is extremely high - Corum is only two points behind the sixth line. In the last three rounds of the championship, the club played only a draw - they failed to beat Amedspor (1:1), Ankaragucu (1:1) and Sanliurfaspor (0:0). On January 9, the hosts lost to Konyaspor (0:1) in the first round of the group stage of the Turkish Cup.

Current form
Istanbulspor had a terrible last season. The team finished last in the Super League with 16 points. The club was given a three-point penalty, but the visitors still looked much worse than all the participants in the top division. Now the Istanbul team plays in the First League and is trying to return to the elite of Turkish football. So far, the team is in seventh place in the table, closing the playoff zone. In their last home matches in the First League, Osman Korkmaz team beat Erzurumspor (3:2) and Erokspor (4:0), and managed to defend a draw with Pendikspor (1:1) on the road. In the first round of the group stage of the Turkish Cup, the visitors suffered a major defeat from Gaziantep (0:4).

1.61Tip and bets
The hosts have not been able to show their best game in recent matches. They only managed to beat Erzincanspor from the Second League in the cup match, and had to settle for a draw in the other matches. Now they will have to face a strong opponent in the person of Istanbulspor. The visitors were whipping boys in the Super League, but at the First League level they remain quite a formidable force. The Istanbul club has shown itself well in recent matches of the First League, and has won the last two face-to-face matches. We believe that Istanbulspor is closer to victory here.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Istanbulspor for 2.10
Bet on total
Corum has not been particularly productive for a long time, and has had huge problems in terms of creating and realizing their own moments. Istanbulspor also does not often have productive matches. The team relies primarily on defense, and will definitely not open up on the road.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will play defensively, which means that many corner flag passes are not expected. We suggest betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners for 1.72
