The season is still fairly new and the 1. Lig table has to be read with caution. So far Balıkesirspor find themselves in 13th position and Menemen Belediyespor are placed 17th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Balıkesirspor form and stats
Balıkesirspor have only played one 1. Lig game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats from 17 matches.
E. Dede was the last player to score a league goal for Balıkesirspor and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Balıkesirspor haven't scored in 180 minutes.
The fans are hoping that Balıkesirspor will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the 1. Lig game against Akhisar Belediyespor (placed 10th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Tuzlaspor.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Balıkesirspor have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won two, drawn two and lost two.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Balıkesirspor at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Menemen Belediyespor form and stats
The visitors settled for one point in their first 1. Lig away game of the season. During their previous season 17 away games resulted in 6 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats.
Home advantage was not enough for Belediyespor in their previous game, as they lost their 1. Lig-match, hosting Tuzlaspor, 2-5. A 1-1 draw at Giresunspor's stadium before that.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Tuzlaspor was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Belediyespor playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were zero Menemen Belediyespor wins, zero draws and one defeat.
1 goal so far away for Menemen Belediyespor, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
Head 2 Head
Last four meetings between the teams: Balıkesirspor won one, Menemen Belediyespor won three and zero draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Balıkesirspor missing players
