Eskişehirspor form and stats

Eskişehirspor, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in 1. Lig, have only collected 1 point from their away games in the 1. Lig, after 0-1-5 (6 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Eskişehirspor, who have now gone 13 games without a victory. The Osmanlspor game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Eskişehirspor are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Eskişehirspor are looking to quickly end their 307 minutes long goal drought in the 1. Lig.

The manager M. Özer was unhappy after their last game, a 1. Lig match played at their home ground Yeni Eskişehir Stadyumu. Eskişehirspor suffered a 0-2 loss to Tuzlaspor (placed 2nd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Giresunspor wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The schedule is very tough for Eskişehirspor now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Turkish Cup game at Rizespor is waiting in only three days.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Eskişehirspor's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 6 matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Eskişehirspor's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 17 goals in 6 travels.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Balıkesirspor five wins, two draws and Eskişehirspor three victories. As for goals, nine matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.
