Match-goers at Kocaeli Stadyumu haven’t enjoyed many victories this season, with Kocaelispor withering away in the 14th position. The visiting Manisa BBSK will attempt to protect their higher league position in this match.

Insights:
  • Kocaelispor have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Manisa BBSK have won significantly less corners away then at home.

16-7-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Manisa BBSK when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 31 matches are 47-34 (scored/conceded).

It's no vacation for neither Kocaelispor nor Manisa BBSK as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Manisa lost away at Kocaelispor (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Balıkesirspor.
