APWin Prediction

Over 1.5 Goals

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.

It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.

👉 Our prediction is: Caykur Rizespor to win the 1st half

As the odds and the statistics clearly indicate, Caykur Rizespor is the superior side in this matchup. They play an aggressive attacking style that puts pressure on their opponents. We expect more or less the same gameplan at home against Kocaelispor, which should result in a fast start.

That is why we are tipping Caykur Rizespor to win the first half in the half-time market.
