Betting Insights
The Over 2.5 goals option looks a bit more attractive at 1.8 than the win, although Eyupspor have scored just nine goals in ten home Super Lig fixtures (W2, D4, L4) , and may find a goal hard to come by on Sunday.
Prediction
With Basaksehir ’s recent form and their superiority in the Super Lig table, they are expected to get the job done on Sunday.
