The visitors, who have the most scored goals (25) in 1. Lig, are W2-D2-L3 on the road this term. That's in the 1. Lig.
Two travels in a row for Bursaspor, whose manager İ. Buz could celebrate last time after the Turkish Cup win against Goztepe (after extra-time). That result followed a home victory 3-0 versus Samsunspor in the 1. Lig.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Goztepe (after extra-time) was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 9 goals, will the fun continue today? It's hard not to mention B. Kör's lethal finishing against Goztepe (after extra-time). three goals were a big reason for the important victory. Late drama in the previous game, when B. Kör scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Goztepe (after extra-time).
