Hatayspor form and stats

3 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Hatayspor have to build on here at Yeni Hatay Stadyumu in the Super Lig.

Hatayspor faced defeat in their previous match, away at Gaziantep F.K. (1-4). Midfielder Kaabi was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.14 (out of ten) in that game. Kaabi scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Before that, Hatayspor had a home game versus Trabzonspor which ended with a victory 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hatayspor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hatayspor as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Hatayspor has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.

Goal fest? We don't know what will happen in this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 most recent league games with this club has seen at least three goals.

The Hatayspor fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. Hatayspor have conceded 13 in these home matches. Hatayspor has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Kasımpaşa form and stats

There's been little loot from Kasımpaşa's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Super Lig. Kasımpaşa only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Kasımpaşa's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Kasımpaşa are travelling after their nice 5-1 home win in the fixture against Giresunspor (placed 16th). Those three points felt nice as this team had gone four league games without victory. As you can tell from the results above, Kasımpaşa was very dominant against Giresunspor, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-1 (!) with Kara (2), Eysseric, Ouanes and Fall providing the goals. Kara got a match rating of 9.03 in that game, top player of the team. Kara scored two goals, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 51 successful passes (of 58 total).

Preceding that game, the 1-5 loss visiting Fenerbahce's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kasımpaşa playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 3 Kasımpaşa wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

Take note that 8 of this side's 10 latest league rounds have ended with three or more goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Kasımpaşa as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. Kasımpaşa's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

These two sides met each other previously this match year: Kasımpaşa - Hatayspor 1-0. Hatayspor-Kasımpaşa H2H statistics last five meetings regardless of arena: Hatayspor two wins, Kasımpaşa two wins, one draw. two of these five matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
