Match preview 2. Lig: Kirmizi: Sakaryaspor - Etimesgut Belediyespor at Sakarya Atatürk Stadium

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Etimesgut Belediyespor have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 11-4-17 (win-draw-loss) from 32 matches.

Sakaryaspor form and stats

Sakaryaspor have played 4 2. Lig: Kirmizi games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-2-1 (wins-draws-losses).

In their previous game, the manager S. Kaya led his Sakaryaspor to a defeat in the 2. Lig: Kirmizi match away at Bandırmaspor. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Sakarya Atatürk Stadium. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Sivas Belediyespor.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sakaryaspor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sakaryaspor as a small favourite), we find one game. Sakaryaspor has won 0 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Sakaryaspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 attempts. Sakaryaspor have conceded 5 in these home matches.

Etimesgut Belediyespor form and stats

As the visiting team in 2. Lig: Kirmizi matches, Etimesgut Belediyespor have produced an overall stat of 1-1-2 so far.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Sivas Belediyespor (placed 7th) in their previous outing. The 2. Lig: Kirmizi match ended in a draw 0-0. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Ankara Demirspor.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Etimesgut Belediyespor playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were 1 Etimegut Belediyespor win, 1 draw and 0 defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Etimesgut Belediyespor's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. It's not easy to score on Etimesgut Belediyespor as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.
