Galatasaray - Kasımpaşa predictions

Galatasaray have been installed as firm favourites by the best online bookmakers and anything but a home win in this match would be considered a huge upset.

Considering what they’re up against, Kasımpaşa can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 12.32 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

While the last time we saw Galatasaray they took home a decisive 1:4 away win at Antalyaspor, they shouldn’t get too overconfident. They were the hard favourites after all, and Kasımpaşa might yet have a few tricks up their sleeve even though the biggest bookmakers online don’t think so.

Kasımpaşa’s previous Super Lig match ended with a home draw against Gençlerbirliği. The 0:0 outcome was better for Kasımpaşa than for their opponents, but fans are hoping for more decisive results in round 17.

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.

The previous two Super Lig clashes Kasımpaşa played ended with either one goal on the board or none at all. That doesn’t make for exciting viewing, but it can signal a decent Under 5 Goals opportunity.

Galatasaray are going into this match from a position of strength. Not only do most tipsters see them as the stronger team, but they’re also quite confident due to their leading position on the Super Lig table.

With 15 points earned over the past 17 games, the visitors may be heading down to the relegation zone. After all, they’re projected to lose this upcoming game. That said, it’s too early in the season to make reliable predictions about the final outcome, so they may manage to climb the table yet.

As far as head-to-head statistics go, we’ll have to take a look at the previous season’s results. A quick look reveals this matchup tends to end in a draw, even though most bookies are projecting a win for Galatasaray.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
