İstanbulspor form and stats

As mentioned below, İstanbulspor are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 1. Lig games. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena.

It's back home for İstanbulspor, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Samsunspor away with the result 3-0. E. Rroca (2) and K. Issah found the net in that victory. A strong away win before that one, visiting Umraniyespor and winning 3-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how İstanbulspor have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost two.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Eskisehirspor are coming to town in three days.

İstanbulspor has scored 4 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
