Hatayspor - Yeni Malatyaspor betting tips and odds

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 1.65, 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.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Yeni Malatyaspor 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.

Hatayspor were hoping they would be able to pull a surprise in their last Super Lig game. That was the impression after the first half at least when Hatayspor had it all level on a difficult outing. However, they were unable to fight the pressure off and ended up suffering a proper beating in the second half for a convincing Fenerbahçe away defeat.

Yeni Malatyaspor are coming on the back of a 0:0 away draw in the previous round against Gazişehir Gaziantep. The score was even at half-time and remained so until the final whistle. Yeni Malatyaspor were clear underdogs in that matchup, though, so they’re happier with the outcome than their opponents.

Experts have pointed at Hatayspor’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 7 goals over the last 3 Super Lig games.

The two teams already met this season in the Super Lig, with Hatayspor taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Burak Camoglu, Noss Traoré, Simon Falette 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.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.96.
