Bursaspor look to Bursa Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu supporters for inspiration before Balıkesirspor match

Bursaspor and Balıkesirspor should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Bursaspor form and stats

Bursaspor have less points than they have played home games in the 1. Lig so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Bursaspor are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Bursa Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu, having lost their two previous games here.

An away draw last time out for Bursaspor, facing Tuzlaspor in a game that ended 3-3. Preceding that match was a defeat to Giresunspor (1-2).

A disappointing finish for Bursaspor in their match versus Tuzlaspor as their 3-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 3-3 full time score. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Bursaspor have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost four.

The manager İ. Buz will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Menemen Belediyespor in only four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Bursaspor at home in the league. 2 on target and 5 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Balıkesirspor form and stats

It's not happening yet for Balıkesirspor on their 1. Lig travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Balıkesirspor have lost on their last two travels.

A. Mršić (2) scored in Balıkesirspor's previous match, the home game against Menemen Belediyespor that ended 2-1. Prior to that match, the Balıkesirspor manager M. Dilsöz faced defeat when travelling to Akhisar Belediyespor and losing 0-2.

We have checked recent matches where Balıkesirspor have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those twelve games were one victory, three draws and eight defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Boluspor in just three days.

Balıkesirspor have the goal stats of 0-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
