The season has been a struggle for Bursaspor so far, and you could say the same about Tuzlaspor. These struggling sides would trade their mothers for some crucial points here.

Insights:
  • Bursaspor have won significantly less corners at home than away.
  • Tuzlaspor have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (8) in 1. Lig

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Tuzlaspor have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 16-10-13 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.

Only a few days to rest for the hosting team, as they featured in a 1. Lig match only four days back. That game was an away game at Samsunspor, so at least Bursaspor are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
