Galatasaray - Kayserispor predictions

Galatasaray are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.29, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Kayserispor will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Galatasaray tied with Sivasspor in their previous showdown, which isn’t exactly something to be happy about. They were playing away, but they were in an advantageous position and were leading after the first half. The game eventually ended in a 1:1 draw.

Kayserispor’s previous Super Lig bout ended up with them playing from behind throughout, ultimately recording a 4:1 defeat. The odds were stacked against them from before kick-off, though. They were the clear underdogs in that matchup against Fatih Karagümrük, and couldn’t count on the support of their home fans either.

Galatasaray’s attackers don’t seem to need a home-field advantage when it comes to scoring. With 7 goals in their last three away games, it’s hard to find issues with their attacking play.

Kayserispor may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

The hosts have their eyes set on victory. They’re 2 points behind the best-placed team with plenty of time to make up the difference – and a win here seems like a great step towards that end.

Kayserispor and Galatasaray tied several times this season, leaving us with inconclusive head-to-head stats. Galatasaray are still considered more likely to come out on top this Monday, though, so the home-field advantage might be enough to finally swing things in their favour.

Sacha Boey, Sérgio Oliveira, Mauro Icardi, Davinson Sánchez will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

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.
