Balıkesirspor form and stats

Balıkesirspor's struggle is real here at Balıkesir Atatürk Stadyumu with only 8 points collected from 15 1. Lig games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-2-11. All in all it has been a very rough period for Balıkesirspor who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Tuzlaspor, 78 days ago.

No payout for Balıkesirspor in their previous match, an away game at Manisa BBSK that ended in defeat 0-3.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Menemen Belediyespor.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Balıkesirspor here at Balıkesir Atatürk Stadyumu in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 15 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Balıkesirspor defense is not exactly impregnable. 28 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. When Balıkesirspor hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Bursaspor, Kocaelispor, Altnordu, Denizlispor, Boluspor and Menemen Belediyespor), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 3 times.

Ankaragücü form and stats

Playing away, Ankaragücü, who have the fewest conceded goals (28) in 1. Lig, have won 8 games, drawn 4 and suffered 4 defeats in the 1. Lig this season. Ankaragücü are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing.

Ankaragücü have a lot to to set right after their shock defeat (2-3) to Altnordu in their previous outing, played at their own home ground.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Adanaspor.

Ankaragücü are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 24 times in 16 away games so far. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (14 so far).
