Ankaragücü - İstanbulspor predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.57, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

İstanbulspor are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Ankaragücü.

Ankaragücü fans were quite hopeful during the half-time break in the previous round. The team managed to snatch an early lead against Kayserispor , who are a considerably stronger team. Ankaragücü couldn’t hold on to their advantage in the second half, however, resulting in a narrow away loss (3:2).

İstanbulspor lost their previous home game against Beşiktaş with a considerably high 0:2 margin. Considering the overwhelming betting odds they were up against, though, the fact that they spent most of the match on the back foot is not too surprising.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Ankaragücü’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, İstanbulspor’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

The season is entering fairly late stages, so the teams placed near the bottom of the table are pushing themselves hard to avoid relegation. The hosts in this match are just 1 point above the relegation zone, so a match in which they have the upper hand is an opportunity they can’t afford to let slip.

İstanbulspor are way down in the relegation zone, and they’d need another 16 points to move up. They’ve displayed quite a poor form so far, however, and most bookmakers online are expecting them to lose. The end of the season is rapidly approaching as well, so even their most ardent supporters aren’t feeling too confident.

With a loss to İstanbulspor on the record, the home team’s status of clear favourites is brought into question. They lost a Super Lig match earlier in the season, which came as a surprise to bookies and punters alike.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Bahadır Güngördü, Efkan Bekiroglu, Alper Uludağ are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Ankaragücü’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

At the odds of 1.61, the match will likely end in a Home Win. The probability of success is the most important factor here, and all signs are pointing towards a triumph for Ankaragücü.
