Eskişehirspor form and stats

Three 1. Lig home games done for Eskişehirspor, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.

B. Altunbas was the last player to score a league goal for Eskişehirspor and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Eskişehirspor haven't scored in 239 minutes.

No payout for Eskişehirspor in their previous match, an away game at İstanbulspor that ended in defeat 0-3. Before that game, the home loss against Samsunspor with the scoreline 0-1.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Turkish Cup game versus Cizrespor in only four days. This game is also played here at Yeni Eskişehir Stadyumu.

The lack of attacking qualities in Eskişehirspor means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Eskişehirspor have only conceded 2 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Akhisar Belediyespor form and stats

Still no away game victory in the 1. Lig for Akhisar Belediyespor with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Belediyespor are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the 1. Lig against Bursaspor (placed 12th). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus İstanbulspor that ended 2-2.

Ç. Orhan came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Bursaspor last time out, making the manager C. Kavcak feel like a tactical genius.

After this away game Belediyespor return home for a Turkish Cup game against Etimesgut Belediyespor. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Belediyespor when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. As opposed to that, Belediyespor have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: one win for Eskişehirspor, four draws and five wins for Akhisar Belediyespor. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
