There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the 1. Lig table so far. Here's the Giresunspor - Altay latest:
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Altay have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Giresunspor can neither be promoted or relegated from 1. Lig. Altay are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Giresunspor form and stats
9-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the 1. Lig numbers at home for Giresunspor so far this season. It's trouble wherever Giresunspor are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Giresunspor, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Giresunspor lost their last game at Altınordu (placed 14th) after a 1-3 scoreline. Preceding that match was the home game against BB Erzurumspor that was lost 0-2.
Giresunspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 21 goals in 16 games. On the other hand, Giresunspor have conceded 17 goals.
Altay form and stats
Playing away, Altay have won 3 games, drawn 9 and suffered 4 defeats in the 1. Lig this season. It's been quite a sequence of draws for Altay when traveling as their last five away games have all ended all square. Not since the Keçiörengücü match has the points been distributed unevenly.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 1. Lig home defeat versus BB Erzurumspor with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 2-2 draw at Adana Demirspor's stadium before that.
Altay has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 25 goals from 16 games. As opposed to that, Altay have seen the ball go into their own net 23 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Altay - Giresunspor 0-0. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Giresunspor won three games, three matches ended with a draw and Altay has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
