Giresunspor will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 4 points behind Ümraniyespor.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's quite the trip for Ümraniyespor when visiting Giresunspor as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.

Giresunspor form and stats

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

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Adriano Facchini not having conceded a league goal in 209 minutes.

A strong away win for Giresunspor against Menemen Belediyespor the last match, as Ö. Özcan and Y. Del Valle (2) were on target. A 0-0 draw away before that, with Altay the opponent.

This is expected to be a close game, with Giresunspor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Giresunspor as a small favourite), we find eight games. Giresunspor has won 6 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.

Giresunspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. 8 goals have been conceded.

Ümraniyespor form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Ümraniyespor so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-5 (win-draw-lose). Ümraniyespor has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The supporters enjoyed Ümraniyespor's previous game versus Altay (placed 9th), a 1. Lig 1-0 win played at home. A 2-4 defeat away at Adana Demirspor before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Ümraniyespor in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Ümraniyespor, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Ümraniyespor find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. The Ümraniyespor manager A. Taşyürek has some worries about the defense as 18 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Ümraniyespor - Giresunspor 4-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last seven meetings): Giresunspor won 1 game, 2 matches ended with a draw and Ümraniyespor has 4 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 1 / 6
