Denizlispor are welcoming Yeni Malatyaspor for another very important match after their 3-2 result versus 14th-placed Adanaspor.

Insights:
  • Denizlispor have the most conceded goals (34) in 1. Lig
  • Yeni Malatyaspor have the fewest points from losing position (1) in 1. Lig

These teams have little in common geographically as Yeni Malatyaspor have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

This looks to be an interesting game with lots of spark and bustle as both sides are well refreshed since they last played a game. Let's start!

Denizlispor form and stats

2 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Denizlispor, who have the most conceded goals (34) in 1. Lig, have to build on here at Denizli Atatürk Stadyumu in the 1. Lig.

A strong away win for Denizlispor against Adanaspor the last match, as Mayi, Şişmanoğlu and Yılmaz were on target.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Altay in a game that was won 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Denizlispor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Denizlispor as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Denizlispor has won 4 of these, drawn 1 and lost 3.

The Denizlispor fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Denizlispor have conceded 10 goals.

Yeni Malatyaspor form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Yeni Malatyaspor so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-4 (win-draw-lose). Visiting Yeni Malatyaspor has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

Yeni Malatyaspor won their last game, 1-0 versus Keciorengucu played at home. That victory felt nice as this team had gone five league games without victory.

A 1-1 draw at Samsunspor's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Yeni Malatyaspor playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 2 Malatyaspor wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Look out: 8 of the last 10 league matches featuring this team have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Yeni Malatyaspor have scored 12 goals in 9 league games away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Yeni Malatyaspor have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Previous nine meetings between these squads: Denizlispor won four, Yeni Malatyaspor triumphed in four and we saw one draw. four games with more than 2,5 goals, five matches with under 2,5 goals.
