Denizlispor vs Istanbulspor AS tips and predictions

Persistence the likely key for Istanbulspor AS

There are 18 points separating the two 1. Lig clubs as 15th place Denizlispor get set to host fourth place Istanbulspor AS.

This smacks of a match with all outcomes being possible but the prediction is for Istanbulspor AS to run out with the win.

Following some abject outings, the hosts will be looking for a change in attitude. Denizlispor have been causing a lot of headaches in terms of betting strategy. They've lost 5 of their last 8 games as hosts. A look at some of the away team's results provides some clues for what to expect.

If you consider that Istanbulspor AS have won their last 6 trips away you can see why they pose a threat to this home side. Their decent results have been characterised by how clinical they can be in front of goal. They've netted 2.8 goals on average over their last 5 away campaigns and if they're at their their best they can enjoy further success here. They've only conceded 3 times during their latest 7 away games so that might also prove significant. In a game that has varied opinions, there is plenty of sense in backing the visitors.

Aside from the match winner pick, the BTTS No is the recommendation, albeit with a low confidence rating.

The hosts might not be in great shape for this. They had a setback on their own soil last week against Tuzlaspor, losing by a 4-2 scoreline.
