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

👉 Our prediction is: Draw

This matchup between Van BB and Istanbulspor has all the makings of a hard-fought stalemate, so our top tip for the match is to bet on the draw on the 1X2 market.

Neither side is particularly appealing to bet on to win given their uneven form of late. And we also see great value in the 3.02 odds for a draw, which is hard to pass up.

👉 Our prediction is: Van BB to win the 1st half

Van BB has been a strong home team overall this season, and the statistics point to them being particularly quick to pounce in the opening 45 minutes. Whether that aggressive mentality is due to the energy of the home crowd or an intentional plan on the part of the manager, it has proven to be very effective.

We foresee that plan paying off once again in their match against Istanbulspor, so our top tip is for Van BB to win the first half.
