1.96Tip and bets
The hosts only score points on big holidays, but the mood is always special for top clubs. The team recently managed to impose a fight on Fenerbahce, and the last face-to-face meetings with Galatasaray were combative. Hatayspor has nothing to lose, so the outsider will certainly give all its strength in the fight with the national champion.
Our betting tip is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Hatayspor for 2.00
Bet on total
Both teams score regularly, but the bar of four goals scored seems too high. In the last three head-to-head matches, the opponents have never scored more than three goals, and it is likely that this time they will not be able to overcome this result. We believe that the opponents will stop at two or three goals scored.
Our prediction is total under 3.5 goals for 1.87
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will rely on defense, so you should not count on a large number of corner kicks in this confrontation.
Our prediction is total under 10.5 corners for 1.75
