Bursaspor form and stats

8 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Bursaspor have to build on here at Timsah Arena in the 1. Lig. When Bursaspor hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Adanaspor, Bursaspor, Balkesirspor, Kocaelispor, Altnordu and Gençlerbirliği), they have won 3 of 5 matches! Hopes of three in a row are alive for Bursaspor after consecutive victories at their own ground.

No payout for Bursaspor in their previous match, an away game at Bandrmaspor that ended in defeat 2-4. 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? Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Pedro for missing a penalty kick versus Bandrmaspor in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Ahead of that match, Bursaspor won a home game hosting Ümraniyespor (3-2).
