2. Lig: Kirmizi prediction and preview: Pendikspor modest favorites to beat Turgutluspor

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Pendikspor and Turgutluspor.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Turgutluspor form and stats

4 wins, 0 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Turgutluspor playing as the away team in the 2. Lig: Kirmizi this season. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on A. Tunay, the Turgutluspor manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Turgutluspor lost away at Pendikspor (0-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, a home win 6-0 against Bugsaşspor.

Turgutluspor are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and six defeats. From a total of eight matches.

The attacking power of Turgutluspor when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 11 league matches away. The Turgutluspor manager A. Tunay has some worries about the defense as 23 goals have been conceded in these travels.
