Kocaelispor form and stats

9-1-6 (win-draw-lost) are the 1. Lig numbers at home for Kocaelispor so far this season. When Kocaelispor hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Bursaspor, Balıkesirspor, Kocaelispor, Boluspor, Menemen Belediyespor and Gençlerbirliği), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Kocaelispor, who played 0-0 against Altınordu. That match was also played at this venue (Kocaeli Stadyumu).

Heartbreak before that as Kocaelispor lost 0-1 at BB Erzurumspor's place.

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 Kocaelispor have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won four times, drawn two and lost three.

Kocaelispor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 22 goals in 16 games. Kocaelispor have conceded 22 in these home matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Altınordu form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Altınordu so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 4-2-10 (win-draw-lose).

Altınordu has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Kocaelispor for a 0-0 draw.

A 1-2 defeat away at Samsunspor before that.

Altınordu are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and eight defeats. From a total of twelve matches.

Altınordu have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 16 league away games 19 goals have been scored. Altınordu have conceded 30 goals in these games.
