The Eyüpspor & İstanbulspor bosses Hamzaoğlu and Dalgıç are both dreading and looking forward to this important match in the upper area of the 1. Lig league table.

Insights:
  • Eyüpspor haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • İstanbulspor have the most scored goals in the second half (34) in 1. Lig

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

It's no vacation for neither Eyüpspor nor İstanbulspor as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
