The glass has been half empty for Denizlispor so far, and you could say the same about Bursaspor. These weathered teams have a chance to get some much needed points here.
- Denizlispor have the most points from losing position (8) in 1. Lig
- Bursaspor have won significantly more corners away than at home.
These are full days for the home side, as they were in action only four days ago in the Turkish Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Agri 1970, was also a home game here at Denizli Atatürk Stadyumu. The away team is better rested.
Denizlispor form and stats
3-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 1. Lig numbers at home for Denizlispor so far this season. When Denizlispor hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Balıkesirspor, Altınordu, Keçiörengücü, Denizlispor, Boluspor and Manisa BBSK), they have won 2 of 2 matches!
The Denizlispor supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Agri 1970 in Turkish Cup and win 3-0.
Preceding that game was the away draw at Istanbulspor that finished 1-1.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Denizlispor have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost six.
Denizlispor has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Denizlispor have conceded 11 from these games.
Bursaspor form and stats
There's been little loot from Bursaspor's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the 1. Lig. Bursaspor only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. Recent form does not give Bursaspor much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Denizlispor will be a tough nut to crack.
Bursaspor won their last game, 2-1 versus Krsehir Belediyespor (after extra-time) played at home. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager ?. Bizati when B. Kör scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute.
A 0-2 defeat away at Genclerbirligi before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bursaspor playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were three Bursaspor wins, one draw and three defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bursaspor as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Bursaspor have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - five - four (Denizlispor wins - draws - Bursaspor wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.Top Goalscorers
