Playing at their own ground is secure and good for Pazarspor, but Kocaelispor are fully motivated and capable to get all three points. What happens today?

Insights:
  • Pazarspor have the most conceded goals in the first half (6) in 2. Lig: Kirmizi
  • Kocaelispor have the most scored goals (13) in 2. Lig: Kirmizi

It's quite the trip for Kocaelispor when visiting Pazarspor as the cities are 1000 kilometers apart.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Pazarspor and Kocaelispor.

Pazarspor form and stats

Three 2. Lig: Kirmizi home games done for Pazarspor, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches.

Stress levels are on the rise for Pazarspor's attacking players as they have now played 376 minutes without scoring in a league game. Kızıltaş was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Pazarspor in their previous match, an away game at Ankara Demirspor that ended in defeat 0-2.

Preceding that match, a home victory against Mazidagi Fosfatspor in the Turkish Cup.

There will be little rest for Pazarspor after this match as they are travelling to Kırşehir Belediyespor for a 2. Lig: Kirmizi game in only four days.

Pazarspor has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games.

Kocaelispor form and stats

The seven points Kocaelispor have gathered from their first three away trips in the 2. Lig: Kirmizi is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.

The Kocaelispor goalkeeper Gökhan Değirmenci is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 183 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Impressive finishing from Aydoğan and Şimşek secured the home win 3-0 against Balıkesirspor in their previous game.

A disappointing loss as solid favourites in the game before that one, the Turkish Cup fixture home hosting Ayvalikgucu Belediyespor.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Fethiyespor in just four days.

The Kocaelispor manager Gül has got the team scoring on the road, with 7 away goals in 3 league matches.

Head 2 Head
