After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Boluspor and Tuzlaspor in this fresh 1. Lig season. Read our match preview!

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.

Boluspor's stadium, Bolu Atatürk Stadyumu, has a grass surface. Tuzlaspor have artifical turf on their own stadium. This might or might not make a difference, and to help evaluate that we give you the recent performance numbers for Tuzlaspor when playing on grass; 13 wins, 8 draws and 14 losses from 35 matches. They have scored 52 goals in these games and conceded 43.

Boluspor form and stats

Boluspor have less points than they have played home games in the 1. Lig so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Boluspor, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

No payout for Boluspor in their previous match, an away game at Giresunspor that ended in defeat 1-2. Preceding that match was a defeat to Altnordu (1-2).

Heartbreak for Boluspor in their last match as Giresunspor's A. Uzodimma scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Boluspor as they are travelling to their away game against Balıkesirspor in the 1. Lig. That match is three days after this one.

Early season league goal statistics from Boluspor's 2 home games: 1 goal, 3 conceded.

Tuzlaspor form and stats

Four points from two away games for Tuzlaspor, meaning one draw and one victory in the 1. Lig so far.

Tuzlaspor played 3-3 against Bursaspor in their previous match. Prior to that result Tuzlaspor won their away game at Menemen Belediyespor. The scoreline was 5-2.

A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Bursaspor. Tuzlaspor were trailing 0-3 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 3-3, with Ö. Özcan scoring the equalizer. 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? As mentioned above, Tuzlaspor drew the match against Bursaspor. Manager T. Taşkın brought on Ö. Özcan to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

A new game in only four days for Tuzlaspor, the 1. Lig home match versus Osmanlıspor. Busy days.

Tuzlaspor have the goal stats of 5-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
