✨ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that İstanbul Başakşehir will, in all likelihood, see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

At the same time, Sivasspor will be up against it to get shooting opportunities although we do think that they will probably end up seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 margin for İstanbul Başakşehir come full-time.
