Ergene Velimeşespor have only collected 4 points from their away games in the 2. Lig: Kirmizi, after 1-1-6 (8 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Sağlam, the Ergene Velimeşespor manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Velimeşespor played 2-2 against Kahramanmarasspor in their previous match. Drawing 2-2 against Kahramanmarasspor after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Sağlam needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
