Football Bet of the Day: Ottoman defences to crumble in Bursa

Bursaspor v Osmanlispor
Monday 18:00

There was a (rare) thriller in France yesterday, but that won't be musique to Kev's ears. Marseille led twice against Strasbourg before eventually needing a late Kostas Mitroglou goal just to salvage a 3-3 draw. As if Strasbourg wasn't unpopular enough on these shores already.

For the first of the new week's bets, we're following a Frenchman all the way to Turkey. Six of Paul Le Guen's first seven Super Lig games in charge of Bursaspor have delivered Over 2.5 Goals. The Green Crocodiles have crashed through the goals line on 3/3 appearances at the Timsah Arena and we're backing them to make it Over 2.5 Goals again this evening.

Like Bursaspor, Irfan Buz's Osmanlispor have managed just a single clean sheet through the Super Lig's first seven rounds. The Ottomans' first three road games have brought 11 goals in total - with, oh dear, eight going to their previous hosts.

We'd expect Osmanlispor to lose this one, but they're up against a team that has conceded twice in 5/6 at home and away. We fancy the visitors to give their hosts a helping hand in delivering at least three match goals.
