Kocaelispor form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Kocaeli Stadyumu as Kocaelispor have scored 13 goals to get 18 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the 1. Lig are 6-0-3 (wins-draws-losses).

The fans are hoping that Kocaelispor will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the 1. Lig game against Altnordu (placed 18th). A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Altnordu) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-3.
