1. Lig: Manisa BBSK are 6 points behind Kocaelispor, but are motivated to go all in. Get ready!

Insights:
  • Manisa BBSK have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded.
  • Kocaelispor have the fewest scored goals (2) away in 1. Lig

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Turkish Cup. That game was also an away game, at Adanaspor. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

This field has artifical turf, which is not Kocaelispor's normal surface at their own football stadium. When appearing on artifical turf Kocaelispor have performed like this: Played five matches resulting in 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat with the goal difference 8-7 (scored/conceded).

Manisa BBSK form and stats

Manisa BBSK have collected 7 points from their 1. Lig home games so far after 2-1-3.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Muhammed Birkan Tetik not having conceded a league goal in 205 minutes.

The fans are hoping that Manisa will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-4 away loss in the Turkish Cup game against Altay. Did Manisa BBSK get overconfident in their match against Altay? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-4 defeat. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Before that, Manisa played out a 1. Lig draw 0-0 when visiting Balıkesirspor.

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 Manisa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Manisa here at Mümin Özkasap Spor Tesisleri in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (5 from 6 games). Manisa have conceded 9 from these games.

Kocaelispor form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest scored goals (2) away in 1. Lig, on their 1. Lig travels is 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Two travels in a row for Kocaelispor, whose manager M. Akçay could celebrate last time after the Turkish Cup win against Adanaspor.

A loss against Menemen Belediyespor was the result prior to that, in a 1. Lig home game.

We have checked recent matches where Kocaelispor have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those four games were three victories, one draw and zero defeats.

Kocaelispor are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 5 away games. Kocaelispor are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 4 times in 5 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last two meetings featuring these two sides are: two wins for Manisa, zero draws and zero wins for Kocaelispor. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
