If you’re backing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Kayserispor at 1.42 to win feels a tad skinny given their inconsistencies in the 1st League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re due a regression — stats nerds would avoid.
Istanbulspor’s 6.8 line tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
