1.95Tip and bets
Trabzonspor plays well on its own field, but rarely wins away - the club has lost five of the last six away matches and has never won in 12 matches. For sure, the mood for the cup match among the guest players will not be as serious as for the championship matches, and the hosts will take advantage of this. We believe that the outsider will be able to keep a positive head start.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (+1.5) for Iskenderunspor in 1.97
Bet on the total
The owners understand that they are much inferior in class, so they will surely rely on defense. The visitors haven't had any problems playing defense lately, as evidenced by the lack of goals conceded in the last four matches. The Trabzonspor players do not want to interrupt this series in a match with a clear outsider, so we believe that the duel with Iskenderunspor will not be effective.
Our forecast is a total of less than 3.5 goals per 1.60
Betting on corners
According to our description, it is clear that the game will be closed. Most likely, the teams will pay special attention to protecting their penalty area, and there will not be many corners served in the match.
Our forecast is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.85
