When playing at home in the 1. Lig, Eyüpspor have managed 8 wins, 4 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 15 games.

An away draw last time out for Eyüpspor, facing Samsunspor in a game that ended 2-2.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Altnordu that ended 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Eyüpspor have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found seven games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost two.

Eyüpspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 15 games. Eyüpspor are not conceding a lot of goals here at Eyüp Stadı in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 13 from 15 matches.

Boluspor form and stats

Boluspor have only collected 14 points from their away games in the 1. Lig, after 4-2-9 (15 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Boluspor who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Bursaspor was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Balaj was the last player to score for the away team. Boluspor haven't scored a league goal in the last 193 minutes.

This match can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus BB Erzurumspor with 0-2 on the scoreboard.

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Bandrmaspor's place.

We have checked recent matches where Boluspor have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were four victories, one draw and three defeats.

After this away game Boluspor return home for a 1. Lig game against Umraniyespor. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Boluspor are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 19 away goals from 15 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Boluspor rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 27 goals from these away matches. Boluspor has visited these top teams four times, and 4 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!
