📋 Team News: Hatayspor

Regarding absentees, there’s just the sole fitness concern for the Hatayspor boss Volkan Demirel to be concerned with from a near full-strength set of players. Mehdi Boudjemaa (unknown injury) is sidelined.

It’s our opinion that Hatayspor should go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game, handing starts to Erce Kardesler, Faouzi Ghoulam, Guy-Marcelin Kilama, Nikola Maksimovic, Kamil Ahmet Cörekci, Massanga Matondo, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Rigoberto Rivas, Ömer Beyaz, Joelson Fernandes and Carlos Strandberg.

📰 Team News: İstanbul Başakşehir

Owing to a completely healthy squad available to choose from, the İstanbul Başakşehir boss Çağdaş Atan has zero fitness worries to speak of coming into this clash.

We believe Belediye will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Muhammed Sengezer, Ömer Ali Sahiner, Léo Duarte, Jerome Opoku, Ousseynou Ba, Berkay Özcan, Josef de Souza, Deniz Türüc, Dimitrios Pelkas, Krzysztof Piatek and João Figueiredo.

🔮 Prediction

We envisage that İstanbul Başakşehir and Hatayspor are probably both going to find scoring goals difficult here.

A scoreless draw looks like a real possibility, but we’ll see what happens. We’re therefore anticipating a very even match with a 0-0 score when the full-time whistle blows.
