TURKEY: Super Lig
In the nineteenth round of the Turkish top flight, the home team Giresunspor, currently in thirteenth place in the table, will take on sixth-placed Hatayspor.
Giresunspor have three wins and two losses in their last five league games. In their last league match they lost 1:3 against third placed Basaksehir, who were clearly the better team. In the match before that, they beat 16th-ranked Altay 3-1 after a very even match. However, the home team was more accurate in finishing. Giresunspor have only a five-point lead on the teams who are currently relegated to the second league. So they will want to win 100% in today's match to get closer to the middle of the table. The team will only be missing midfielder Akdag Erol, who was injured in early December and has played five league games so far. Giresunspor are thus at full strength for this match.
Hatayspor have a horrible run of four losses and only one win in their last five league games. However, it should be added that their last two league games have been against the first and second teams of the Turkish top flight. These losses were to be expected. At the end of November, they suffered a crushing 4-0 defeat to the ninth team in the table, failing to fire a single shot on target in the match, while their opponents managed to do so eight times. A big problem for Hatayspor in this match will be the absence of two key defenders - Sam Adekugbe (played 18 league matches) and Fatih Kurucuk (played 17 league matches) due to cards. At the same time, midfielder Boudjemaa Mehdi (13 games played), another defender Falette Simon and midfielder Adama Traore will not take part in this match due to injury. The coach will have to shuffle the roster and lineups a lot, as he has only two players from the regular lineup in defense.
Giresunspor have won four of their last five home games, so the home advantage will be felt. Hatayspor have a lot of injured players in defence and midfield. I think that Giresunspor, which is at full strength, will manage to win under these terms.
My bet:
Giresunspor @ 2.05 (bet365)
