Kayserispor vs. Galatasaray: Turkish Championship Match Forecast
Kayserispor and Galatasaray will play in the 17th round of the Turkish Super League. The hosts are in the relegation zone, but still have a chance to get out of the basement of the tournament table. The visitors are the sole leaders in the league and are five points ahead of their closest competitor. Will there be a sensation on December 22 or will the favorite easily take three points? The answer is in our forecast for this match.

Command Analysis

Kayserispor

Current form
Kayserispor have been performing very poorly this season and have hardly won. They managed to get their first victory in the championship only in the ninth round, when they beat the penultimate club in the league, Hatayspor (1:0). Since then, they have managed to celebrate two more victories - over Kasimpasa (2:1) and Alanyaspor (2:0). Of the top clubs, the hosts have only played against Besiktas (0:3) and Fenerbahce (2:6) - both matches were lost heavily, so there is little hope for a positive outcome against Galatasaray. The club is in 16th place in the standings and is under serious threat of relegation. However, for now the hosts are only one point behind the safe zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of Bilal Bayazit and Arif Kocaman on the field is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- None of the hosts' last five matches have ended in a draw
- At home, the team has won only one of its last 13 matches
Tentative lineup: Piri - Sazdagi, Attama, Janvier, Karol, Gezek - Karimi, Boa Morte, Burabia - Kaldirim, Bahoken

Galatasaray

Current form
Galatasaray confidently leads the Turkish Super League. In 15 matches, the team managed to earn 41 points and is five points ahead of its closest pursuer, Fenerbahce. In the last rounds, the favorite was seriously challenged by Sivasspor (3:2) and Trabzonspor (4:3), but both times Okan Buruk charges emerged victorious. The visitors have also not lost in the Europa League, where they are among the top eight and will play in the 1/8 finals if they manage to stay there. In their last matches on the European stage, the Istanbul club tied with AZ Alkmaar (1:1) and Swedish Malmo (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Mauro Icardi and Ismail Jacobs are both out with injuries, while Roland Challai has too many yellow cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not lost in 19 matches in a row.
- The club has scored at least two goals in each of its last four matches
Probable line-up: Muslera - Elert, Nelson, Bardakci, Kostic - Sara, Torreira - Hjelert, Mertens, Akgün - Batshuayi.

2.35Tip and bets
The visitors have shown excellent results this season, both in the Super League and in the Europa League. It is obvious that playing on two fronts is not a problem for them, so there should be no problems in the match with one of the relegation contenders. We believe that we will see another confident victory over Kayserispor.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Galatasaray for 1.53
Bet on total
The visitors stick to an attacking style of play and it works most often - the team has many European-level players in the attack line, so there are usually no problems with the implementation of goal-scoring opportunities. In the last match with the participation of Galatasaray, seven goals were scored, and today match will probably be productive.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals for 1.92
Bet on corners
In two of the last three head-to-head encounters, the teams took more than ten corners between them. We believe that the upcoming encounter will not be boring either, and the opponents will be able to reach the mark of ten corners.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.70
