Football Bet of the Day: Champs to play out a thriller

Turkish tussle will entertain

Adana Demirspor v Trabzonspor
Monday 12 September, 19:30

For obvious reasons, Tobias ended his stint early last week, but his final bet saw BTTS land in Nantes v Olympiakos. We'll start a new sequence in Turkey, because the ever-intriguing Adana Demirspor are up against champions Trabzonspor in the Super Lig.

Until recently, Adana Demirspor had the nomadic Mario Balotelli on their books, and they have English football alumni like Benjamin Stambouli, Gokhan Inler, Birkir Bjarnason and Britt Assombalonga. They have started the season well, claiming ten points from five games, and they have scored ten goals in the process.

Champions Trabzonspor have also racked up ten points from their five matches, and although they have kept four clean sheets in those five outings, away defeats at Antalyaspor (5-2) and Ferencvaros (3-2) have rung some alarm bells.

Trabzonspor won this fixture 3-1 back in April on their way to the title, and I think we'll see goals here too. Adana Demirspor haven't drawn a blank yet, while Trabzonspor have scored in four of their five league matches, and BTTS has landed in ten of their last 14 away games in the Turkish top flight.

I'll use the Sportsbook's Bet Builder here to back BTTS, Over 2.5 Goals and Trabzonspor to get at least three corners at 2.3211/8. The champions are picking up an average of 5.6 corners so far in the league this term.
