Denizlispor form and stats

All-inclusive 1. Lig results playing at home this season for Denizlispor are 3-1-5 (wins-draws-losses). When Denizlispor hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Bursaspor, Balkesirspor, Altnordu, Keciorengucu, Denizlispor and Menemen Belediyespor), they have won 2 of 3 matches! We have seen two home losses in a row now for Denizlispor, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Denizlispor are returning here after visiting Bandrmaspor in a 1. Lig game and winning with a 4-3 scoreline. Depe, Özdemir, Şişmanoğlu and Yılmaz scored the goal(s). The game against Bandrmaspor had lots of late drama as Denizlispor came back from being down 0-3 and finally secured the victory through Şişmanoğlu's goal in the 90th minute. 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? World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Tekke when Şişmanoğlu scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute. A late climax in the match against Bandrmaspor as the winning goal came six minutes into overtime; scored by Şişmanoğlu.

Before that, Denizlispor played out a Turkish Cup draw 3-3 when visiting Galatasaray (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties).

The Denizlispor fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Denizlispor defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Manisa BBSK form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Manisa BBSK playing as the away team in the 1. Lig this season.

Manisa BBSK might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. İstanbulspor proved too strong as Manisa BBSK slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Mümin Özkasap Spor Tesisleri.

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Tuzlaspor at their stadium, the result 1-0.

Manisa BBSK find the net regularly in their away games. 12 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. 13 goals have been conceded by Manisa in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
