Galatasaray - Hatayspor predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Galatasaray winning is by far the most likely outcome.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Galatasaray and the 15.16 odds given to Hatayspor to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

Galatasaray are coming off from a textbook 3:4 victory in the previous round against Kasımpaşa . The first half was slightly unfocused, but they managed to walk away with an away win after a solid second-half performance.

Previously in the Super Lig, Hatayspor played a home game against Samsunspor and won despite being considered the clear underdogs in the matchup. Not only did they record a decisive 3:0 victory, but they did so after leading for most of the match.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Galatasaray and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

This game’s home team is at the peak of an excellent season. They’re first on the table and going into a match they’re likely to win, which would increase their point advantage even further.

A finish in the upper parts of the table seems increasingly unlikely for Hatayspor with each passing round. After 31 games, they’re number 15th in the standings, which is too close to the relegation zone for comfort. More alarmingly, earning any points in this matchup would be quite difficult.

Earlier in the season, Galatasaray lost an away game against Hatayspor, though it was with a relatively small goal difference. Most betting predictions agree that things will go differently this time, especially with the 1.22 odds for a home win in mind.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
