Galatasaray and Kocaelispor will play in the fifth round of the Turkish Super League. The hosts are in second place after four matches, but the visitors are right behind them and are only one point behind. Is a sensation on September 13th possible? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Galatasaray
Galatasaray lost tournament points in the first round of the Turkish Championship, having drawn at home with Chorum (2:2). After that, we managed to win three victories in a row - over Erzurumspor (4:0), Geztepe (3:2) and Basaksehir (3:2). Nevertheless, the club ranks only second in the standings, two points behind Besiktas, with one match left. On September 9, the hosts played their first Champions League match and lost to Portuguese Sporting with a score of 1:3.
Kocaelispor
Kocaelispor clearly expects to compete for the top spots this season. Last season, the club had not won since mid-March and ended up finishing only tenth. But in the current championship draw, the team from Izmit lost only to Bashkşehir (0:2). This was followed by victories over Amedspor (2:0), Konyaspor (2:1) and Samsunspor (1:0).
Galatasaray is the clear favorite of this match, besides the Istanbul team is playing at home. Nevertheless, Kocaelispor has won three in a row and this can inspire the outsider to a feat in a duel with the reigning champion. The hosts have recently played in the Champions League and will clearly not be at their peak. We suggest betting on an outsider with a plus handicap, but the hosts have won the last two victories with minimal advantage, this time the same result is possible.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1.5) on Kocaelispor for 1.88
The hosts have won the last two victories with this score
The bid is the number 3 in the final bill
3.55
This pattern has worked in the last three matches of the hosts.
