Trabzonspor v Hatayspor

🏟
Saturday 12th August - 7:00PM KO

Title holders Trabzonspor made a strong start to the season. First, they beat Sivasspor in the Turkish Super Cup, then they defeated Istanbulspor in the first match of the league. They continue successfully with the low-tempo possession game where they prioritize defense. Striker Andreas Cornelius is in great form, and the two newly signed full-backs, Eren Elmalı and Jens Larsen are making a huge contribution to the team. There is a team that looks stronger than last year and this season they will play in front of their fans for the first time.

Hatayspor got a bye-week on the first matchday of the season. This match will be their first official match and they will play against the last champion. Coach Serkan Ozbalta said that many transfers should be made to the team, but important transfers have not yet come. The pre-season didn't go well, the team needs to get stronger and get used to the new coach's setup.

Trabzonspor will play a very critical match against Copenhagen in the Champions League play-off on Tuesday. Maybe a rotation can be expected before this match, but there is depth in the squad and the quality of the alternatives is close to each other. Trabzonspor will win this one with a low-tempo game against Hatayspor, a team who are not quite ready yet.

Prediction: Trabzonspor to Win, 1.44 on Betfair (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)


Galatasaray v Giresunspor

🏟
Saturday 13th August - 7:45PM KO

Galatasaray won the first match of the season with a last-minute goal against Antalyaspor. They got into a very good mood with the win in the match played in very hot weather and against a good opponent. In addition, they announced two important transfers during the week. Arsenal's Lucas Torreira and Napoli's Dries Mertens joined Galatasaray. Neither of these two players are expected to start the game this week, but they sure bring excitement to the club. 

Galatasaray became a much stronger team in this way. The new transfer Fredrik Midtjsö, who assisted in the last match, is expected to be in the starting 11. Right-back Leo Dubois is injured, while the other right-back Omar Elabdelloui is uncertain. Sacha Boey, who plays at right-back against Antalyaspor, is expected to start this match as well.

Giresunspor started the season with a weaker squad, but in the first match, they played very well against strong opponent Adana Demirspor. If Giresunspor had been a little stronger in defense, they could have picked up a draw, so it can be said that they are performing above the predictions about their quality. However, while the draw is a good result away against Galatasaray, the home team is in a very good mood and Giresunspor does not have the experience to deal with it.

Galatasaray will play to erase the bad memories of last season. The fans are ready to embrace the team, the tickets are sold out. New transfers will be presented to the fans, I expect Galatasaray to win in this atmosphere.

Prediction: Galatasaray to Win, 1.40 on Betfair (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐)

Adana Demirspor v Sivasspor

🏟
Saturday 13th August - 7:45PM KO

Adana Demirspor won the first match of the season against Giresunspor. They scored three goals but conceded two, and they could have scored more and conceded more. Veteran defender Yaroslav Rakitskyi, who settled on the back four, did not seem ready enough yet. His alternative, Turkish defender Tayyip Talha Sanuc, was called to the U23 national team and will not be in the squad again. Gokhan Inler plays in the midfield; the player was born in 1984 and scored in the first match, but Adana Demirspor's defense becomes more vulnerable because of his slow pace. On offense, the star of the team, Mario Balotelli, is about to leave, but Henry Onyekuru scored in the first match and showed what a good scorer he is.

Sivasspor has similar defensive problems. They were very bad defensively against Gaziantep in the first week, it was easy for the opponent to win the match. They were lucky and saved the draw. Still an effective team on offense, Max Gradel always finds a solution. On the other hand, the injury of captain Hakan Arslan is a critical loss for the team’s defense.

Both teams are successful on offense, but vulnerable on defense. It is very difficult to predict who will win, but over 2.5 would be a very good bet.

Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals, 1.80 on Betfair (⭐⭐⭐⭐)
