Giresunspor will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 5 points behind Bursaspor.
It's no vacation for neither Giresunspor nor Bursaspor 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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Bursaspor have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
The season is still full of potential for Giresunspor as they can still win the whole 1. Lig. Bursaspor are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
