Team News: Istanbulspor
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Istanbulspor gaffer Osman Korkmaz to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Baran Alp Vardar (Cancer) won’t play.

Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Boluspor will have to perform well to be putting a goal past this Istanbulspor team who we reckon will do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
That’s why our selection here is for a very even match with a 1-0 advantage for Istanbulspor at the end of this game.
Should be a close one.
