Istanbul Basaksehir vs Galatasaray: Prediction, Betting Tips and Match Preview

The opening game of the fourth Süper Lig round pits the defending champions against an Istanbul Basaksehir side that has looked anything but composed. Basaksehir were knocked out of the Conference League by Inter Turku and have taken just one win from their first three league matches, collecting nine yellow cards along the way — four of them in the Trabzonspor game. Even in a low-stakes match against Kasımpaşa, they picked up a needless booking right at the end, which tells you everything about their lack of restraint. The more pressure they face, the more cards they seem to accumulate.

Galatasaray, on the other hand, average about one yellow per match, though their two bookings against Göztepe came when the underdogs made the champions nervous. Given the importance of this fixture and Basaksehir's disciplinary problems, I'm backing over 7.5 yellow cards here, and a red card wouldn't come as a shock.

Over 9.5 corners is the play when Basaksehir host Galatasaray in the Süper Lig. I'm backing that total at 1.88.
