The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Balıkesirspor are in the 8th position while the guests worry at 15th.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It's quite the trip for Adanaspor when visiting Balıkesirspor as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
