It's still early in the 1. Lig season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Balıkesirspor - Boluspor preview!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Balıkesirspor form and stats
As mentioned below, Balıkesirspor are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 1. Lig games.
The fans are hoping that Balıkesirspor will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the 1. Lig game against Bursaspor (placed 10th). Ahead of that match, Balıkesirspor won a home game hosting Menemen Belediyespor (2-1).
There will be little rest for Balıkesirspor after this match as they are travelling to Osmanlspor for a 1. Lig game in only four days.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Balıkesirspor at home in the league. 5 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Boluspor form and stats
Still no away game victory in the 1. Lig for Boluspor with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts. Three has not been a lucky number for Boluspor as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Adana Demirspor match.
Boluspor might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Tuzlaspor proved too strong as Boluspor slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Bolu Atatürk Stadyumu. A 1-2 defeat away at Giresunspor before that.
2 goals so far away for Boluspor, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Balıkesirspor won five, Boluspor won four and one draw. six games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
