Balıkesirspor will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 6 points behind Samsunspor.
- Balıkesirspor have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Samsunspor has the fewest conceded goals in the first half (1) in 1. Lig
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Samsunspor have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Balıkesirspor form and stats
Balıkesirspor have played 5 1. Lig games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager M. Dilsöz led his Balıkesirspor to a defeat in the 1. Lig match away at Bandırmaspor. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Balıkesir Atatürk Stadyumu. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Umraniyespor.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Balıkesirspor as they are travelling to their away game against Istanbulspor in the 1. Lig. That match is three days after this one.

A quick return to home after this game, as Samsunspor are hosting Menemen Belediyespor in the 1. Lig only three days away.
