Tuzlaspor will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 14 points behind Adana Demirspor.

Insights:
  • Tuzlaspor have the most points from losing position (17) in 1. Lig
  • Adana Demirspor is in the best form (5-1-0)

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Adana Demirspor have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-0-2 (win-draw-loss) from four matches.

These teams have little in common geographically as Adana Demirspor have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Demirspor are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

The Adana Demirspor goalkeeper Muhammed Sengezer is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 217 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Altnordu.
