Season ticket holders at Osmanli Stadi haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Osmanlıspor languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting İstanbulspor will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Turkish Cup game only four days ago.
Osmanlıspor form and stats
When playing at home in the 1. Lig, Osmanlıspor have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games.
Stress levels are on the rise for Osmanlıspor's attacking players as they have now played 275 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Yigit was their last goal scorer.
The fans are hoping that Osmanlıspor will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the 1. Lig game against Umraniyespor (placed 4th). Before that, Osmanlıspor drew at home versus Altay.
This is expected to be a close game, with Osmanlıspor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Osmanlıspor as a small favourite), we find nine games. Osmanlıspor has won 5 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Osmanlıspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Osmanlıspor's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
İstanbulspor form and stats
There's been little loot from İstanbulspor's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the 1. Lig. İstanbulspor only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 3 draws. İstanbulspor seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The manager T. Avcı was unhappy after their last game, a Turkish Cup match played at their home ground Bahçelievler ?l Özel ?dare Stadyumu. İstanbulspor suffered a 0-2 loss to Fenerbahce. Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Eskisehirspor in the 1. Lig.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with İstanbulspor playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were 2 İstanbulspor wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
İstanbulspor are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as İstanbulspor have conceded 13 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
