Kocaelispor - Galatasaray predictions

To call the upcoming match difficult for Kocaelispor would be a major understatement. They are going up against impossible odds. With a home win priced at 6.53 with major online bookmakers, this is a completely one-sided game.

Galatasaray are expected to win this match, which is made quite clear by the 1.44 odds that can be found with most bookies. The odds are not so short as to make an Away Win bet not worth taking, though, which also implies a certain degree of risk.

A İstanbul Başakşehir defeat is something Kocaelispor want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the Super Lig came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

The away team didn’t fare all that well the last time out at their home stadium against Trabzonspor, as both teams went home with a rather lukewarm single point. Whether this round will be any better remains to be seen, but everyone’s hoping for a more charged outing.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

Galatasaray have won 3 away matches in a row, and online bookmakers are predicting an equally strong display in round 12.

Considering the odds on a home win, Kocaelispor might be on their way into the relegation zone. They’re currently 3 points above it. Thankfully, it’s too early in the season for the table positions to be set in stone.

Galatasaray’s position is at the top of the current standings. A title is still not that close because we’re early in the season, but they seem on a good course for now.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
