The Best Predictions and Betting Tips for Istanbulspor vs Gaziantep
Gaziantep to Win
The last time the two clubs met, they did so in this very stadium. The home team does not have very good memories of that matchup as they lost 4-0. The away team had a great performance in the previous matchday, the opposite with Istanbulspor who were beaten 4-1. We predict Gaziantep to win no matter if this is the away team.
Over 2.5 Goals
The host has given up a few points because once on top they are unable to hold on to the lead or take advantage of the amount of goals they score in each game. In their last 6 games, there have been more than 2.5 goals because they don’t fail to put the ball in the net, but they also don’t avoid conceding goals.
We expect 3 or even more goals in this matchup, as both have a good goal average. Also, the average goal in the last three h2h is 3.33 per match.
BTTS
It will not be unusual for the two clubs to put the ball in the net, as Istanbulspor have six consecutive clean sheets, although they have also scored in each of them. They have also conceded at least one goal in the last seven h2h with Gaziantep.
The Black Sea Storm have scored first in nine of their last 10 matches, while their opponents have done the same in five of their last six games, which raises our expectations.
Istanbulspor vs Gaziantep Preview: Third Place At Stake
Istanbulspor
In the last three rounds, The Grey Owls have accumulated two wins and a draw. Although they are undefeated, the points lost in the last draw put their place in the Conference League at risk and also put them out of the battle for the title.
Erdinc Sozer’s team visited Gaziantep in the previous matchday, Alli had a great performance and was superior to their opponents. Unfortunately, a defensive lapse in the final minutes allowed Gaziatep to equalise Berkay Ozvan’s first-half goal.
Gaziantep
The Blue Lightnings want to regain the third place they lost two rounds ago. In the previous matchday, they played at home against one of the worst teams in the championship. The Blue Lightnings were far superior, in the first half they had 5 shots on goal but only put the ball in the net once.
In the second half there were more shots, but this time they were more convincing and scored 5 more goals. Goalkeeper Ertac Ozbir didn’t have much work to do and it was easy to keep a clean sheet.
