C.Rizespor - Sivasspor

C.Rizespor had a decent squad last season but some key players left the club at transfer window. Most of them were midfielders and this will weaken the attacking power of team. Biggest blow was the departure of only striker Okan and Rizespor could't make a replacement for a long time. Two days ago they bought Jelic from Maribor but according to news he won't be at starting eleven, so I think like before we will watch a defensive minded team again. Sivasspor had one of the best defenses in league last season. This was mostly because coach Lorant's tactics. He left now but new recruit Pecze looks like he is on the same way. I expect a closed match.

Pick: under 2.5 goals @ 1.80

Trabzonspor - V.Manisaspor

I never bet to under for V.Manisaspor matchex because of Ersun Yanal's crazy offensive tactics. Nearly %90 percent of his matches finished over last season (12 in a row for example) But first week I saw something different against Besiktas. V.Manisaspor scored the first goal at 30 th minute and then sat at back for the rest of the match without a single shot on the goal. Also Trabzonspor coach Lazaroni is trying to build a new defensive system and this is why I prefer under for this match.

Pick: under 2.5 goals @ 2.05
