Back Half Time Draw @ 2.206/5 in Altinordu v Gaziantep FK

It's not even December yet, but Tobias Gourlay's already thinking about Turkey

Altinordu v Gaziantep FK
Friday 15:00

Only one defence was taken to task in Austria last night. LASK beat Wolfsberger 2-0 and brought down our bet by the odd goal.

After the midweek major-league hijinks of the last couple of days, today's a day of rest and reflection for the vast majority of the global footballing community. Which is a long way of saying there ain't much happening anywhere in the world today. So we're looking ahead to tomorrow afternoon's Turkish 1 Lig game.

Eleventh-placed Altinordu are level on points with 10th-placed Gaziantep and it could take a while to separate them when they meet in Izmir on Friday.

Huseyin Eroglu has guide Altinordu to half-time draws in 30/57 appearances on home turf, while Huseyin Kalpar's Gaziantep have been all-square at the break in 8/9 on the road since the current gaffer arrived. Both records suggest any odds-against price about a half-time draw tomorrow should be gratefully accepted.
