This match features two teams living in the basement of the 1. Lig, Osmanlıspor holding 16th place and Balıkesirspor lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Osmanlıspor and Balıkesirspor should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Osmanlıspor are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Balıkesirspor is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
