Tuzlaspor form and stats

Tuzlaspor's struggle is real here at 15 Temmuz Stadı with only 14 points collected from 14 1. Lig games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-2-8. When Tuzlaspor hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Adanaspor, Altnordu, Yeni Malatyaspor, BB Erzurumspor, Tuzlaspor and Genclerbirligi), they have won 2 of 5 matches!

A strong away win for Tuzlaspor against Keciorengucu the last match, as Mata were on target.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Göztepe (0-2).

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 Tuzlaspor have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 10 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Tuzlaspor as they are travelling to their away game against Samsunspor in the 1. Lig. That match is four days after this one.

Tuzlaspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 14 games. Tuzlaspor's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. Tuzlaspor has at home met teams with this table position (low), five times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 4 of 5 times.

Denizlispor form and stats

There's been little loot from Denizlispor's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 14 away games in the 1. Lig. Denizlispor only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Denizlispor who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Genclerbirligi was the last time a defeat was avoided.

The manager Kılıç was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Denizli Atatürk Stadyumu. Denizlispor suffered a 0-2 loss to Göztepe (placed 9th).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Altnordu wasn't a success with a 2-5 loss.

Denizlispor are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 9 defeats. From a total of 12 matches.

For Denizlispor, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last three matches): Tuzlaspor two wins, zero draws and Denizlispor one victory.
