Boluspor form and stats

With {2 1. Lig wins}, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Boluspor are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Boluspor faced defeat in their previous match, away at Samsunspor (0-1). A Turkish Cup defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Antalyaspor.

There will be little rest for Boluspor after this match as they are travelling to Adanaspor for a 1. Lig game in only four days.

İstanbulspor form and stats

As the visiting team in 1. Lig matches, İstanbulspor have produced an overall stat of 3-1-3 so far.

İstanbulspor's last game was the home draw against Bursaspor (3-3). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Menemen Belediyespor at their stadium, the result 2-1.

Drawing 3-3 against Bursaspor after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager O. Çıkırıkçı needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Bursaspor was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

A new game in only four days for İstanbulspor, the 1. Lig home match versus Adana Demirspor. Busy days.

İstanbulspor have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 7 away games in the league. 7 goals have been conceded by İstanbulspor in these games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last eight matches): Boluspor four wins, two draws and İstanbulspor two victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
