ℹ️
Team News: Istanbulspor
Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Istanbulspor boss Osman Korkmaz to be concerned with from a near full-strength set of players. Baran Alp Vardar (Cancer) won’t play.
ℹ️
Team News: Corum
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there’s only a single fitness problem for the Corum gaffer to contend with. Mertcan Aşcı (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t be in action.
💡
Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Istanbulspor will most probably convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.
Conversely, Corum may well find it hard to break down their defence but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once as well.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Istanbulspor come full-time.
