2.23Tip and bets
The hosts are clearly failing in the Turkish Super League, and two players from the main squad will miss the match due to disqualification. The visitors look much stronger in the championship, they did not have a cup match a few days ago, so the advantage in freshness is also on the side of Samsunspor. We believe that the third team in the championship will take three points from Sivas.
Our prediction is Samsunspor win for 2.00
Bet on total
The hosts have recently pleased with high performance only in the cup. The guests also do not often have bright matches and try to achieve results due to strict defense. We believe that in this match we will not see a large number of goals scored.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on corners
The visitors will probably attack throughout the match and earn quite a few corners. The hosts are unlikely to be able to compete in this regard.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Samsunspor for corners at 2.07
