Current form
The representatives of the Second League got a rather weak opponent in the last stage of the cup. Iskenderunspor easily defeated the football club Tire 2021 from the Third League. For some time, the hosts were leading with a score of 4:0, but already in stoppage time they conceded one goal. However, the score of 4:1 clearly did not upset the hosts. In the championship, the club occupies fifth place, which gives the right to participate in the playoffs for promotion. In the last rounds, they managed to beat Altinordu (2:1) and Kastamonuspor (1:1).

1.90Tip and bets
The guests, although they rarely win, still play in the Super League and greatly surpass the hosts in terms of the level of their squad. In the cup matches, Hatayspor has not made any mistakes so far and easily dealt with their previous opponents. We think that Iskenderunspor will not be able to create a sensation, and the representative of the top division will go further.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Hatayspor for 1.85
Bet on total
Hatayspor scores a lot in cup matches. At the same time, Iskenderunspor regularly concedes from clubs in its league, so it does not seem that the hosts will be able to defend themselves competently against the favorites. Most likely, the visitors will show a productive performance, and the hosts will only have to respond with their attacks.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.68
Bet on corners
We don't think any of the opponents are going to sit back in defense today, so there shouldn't be a shortage of corner kicks in this match. We suggest betting on the total over this indicator.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.56
