This could be an interesting match as Balıkesirspor have their presumed home advantage while Bursaspor are ahead 8 points in the 1. Lig table.
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 Balıkesirspor and Bursaspor.
Balıkesirspor form and stats
5-5-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 1. Lig numbers at home for Balıkesirspor so far this season. With eight home 1. Lig games in a row without a win, the Balıkesirspor fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Adanaspor game long ago, can be stopped today. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Balıkesirspor.
The home team returns to Balıkesir Atatürk Stadyumu after being equal after 90 minutes with Adanaspor (placed 17th) on their last time out; the 1. Lig game ended 1-1. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Keciorengucu that ended 2-2.
The Balıkesirspor fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 13 matches. Balıkesirspor have conceded 18 in these home matches.
Bursaspor form and stats
Playing away, Bursaspor have won 5 games, drawn 3 and suffered 5 defeats in the 1. Lig this season. The last three matches for Bursaspor have all ended in a draw.
There were no winners in Bursaspor's previous match, a 1. Lig home game that ended 1-1 vs Istanbulspor (placed 13th). A 1-1 draw at Umraniyespor's stadium before that.
A quick return to home after this game, as Bursaspor are hosting Boluspor in the 1. Lig only four days away.
Bursaspor find the net regularly in their away games. 19 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Bursaspor have conceded 20 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
