Keçiörengücü form and stats

5 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Keçiörengücü have to build on here at Aktepe Stadı in the 1. Lig. Two home wins in a row for Keçiörengücü bring valid hopes of a third.

A nice win for Keçiörengücü last time playing, versus Eyupspor. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with İnan and Reşmen scoring for the victors.

Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Galatasaray in the Turkish Cup.
