Altay - İstanbul Başakşehir betting tips and odds

The 3.70 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

If everything goes according to plan and İstanbul Başakşehir put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Although Altay are coming on the back of a harsh 3:1 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Adana Demirspor , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

İstanbul Başakşehir performed better in the previous round at Sivasspor than most bookmakers online expected. They went ahead in the first half and dominated most of the match, resulting in an impressive 0:2 away win.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

The previous two matches İstanbul Başakşehir played at home ended without much excitement. Neither featured more than a single goal.

Looking at the head-to-head stats between these two squads, we see a tied game from an earlier round. This was a missed opportunity for Altay, who should have had an easy time earning 3 points in a home game. They’re still the favourites, but their chances of winning the game are smaller than they were in that previous bout.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.83.
