Kayserispor vs Istanbulspor prediction 22.01.2024

• Competition: Super Lig
• Date: 22nd January 2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Kadir Has Stadium

On Monday evening, Kayserispor will host Istanbulspor, the favorites for relegation, in a bid to secure a win that will keep them in the upper half of the Turkish top flight table.

For the first time in five years, the hosts ended the 2022/23 Süper Lig season in the top half of the table, and they’ve kept up that performance this season. Currently in eighth place, Recep Uçar’s team has accrued 29 points from 20 matches, despite their recent downturn in form. The Blue Dragons are headed into Monday’s game with the burden of six straight losses, during which they’ve allowed at least two goals per game.

Last season, Istanbulspor ascended to the top flight after a 14-year absence and comfortably avoided relegation by finishing four places above the drop zone. However, their performance this season is less promising. Having accumulated only seven points from twenty games, their chances of avoiding relegation again are dwindling.

Kayserispor vs Istanbulspor Betting Tips: Both teams to score

Despite their six-game winless streak, Kayserispor is still considered the favourite for this match. This is due to their track record of not losing any of the last seven encounters with their opponents. However, there’s room for improvement in their defence, as shown by Recep Uçar’s team, who only managed to keep a clean sheet in two out of their last eight league games. In five of those games, both teams managed to score.

Istanbulspor has the potential to score on a good day. They were unable to score in only five of their past 13 games across all competitions under Hakan Yakin’s leadership. Betting on both teams to score (btts) &— yes, was successful in two of their most recent three games.
