Expert Betting Tips

Trabzonspor find themselves between Scylla and Charybdis as they are missing quite a few of their key players either to international duty or injury, and going up against a side that has maintained overt superiority over them in past meetings with such a burden weighing down on their shoulders could see them drop all three points in this one.

Galatasaray are winless in two away matches in the league, picking up consecutive stalemates against Fenerbahce and Sivasspor. However, they've been presented with an opportunity to get back to winning ways in this fixture, and their victory is not one to be doubted. As such, we expect Gala to claim maximum points by picking them up in the full-time market, as we feel they'll be too much for the hosts to handle after avoiding defeat in their last four away matches.
