İstanbulspor and Adana Demirspor have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the 1. Lig.

Insights:
  • İstanbulspor have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Adana Demirspor have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

These teams have little in common geographically as Adana Demirspor have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

İstanbulspor form and stats

12 points is a decent return from 6 1. Lig games here at Ziya Altınoğlu Stadyumu for İstanbulspor. The data says 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. İstanbulspor have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

İstanbulspor are returning here after visiting Boluspor in a 1. Lig game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. E. Rroca and L. Ayçiçek scored the goal(s). Before that, İstanbulspor drew at home versus Bursaspor.

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

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the 1. Lig game versus Osmanlspor in only four days. This game is also played here at Ziya Altınoğlu Stadyumu.

The İstanbulspor manager O. Çıkırıkçı has got the team scoring with 13 from 6 home games in the league. On the other hand, İstanbulspor have conceded 8 goals.

Adana Demirspor form and stats
