It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Super Lig.

Altay form and stats

With 3 Super Lig wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Altay are certainly not brimming with confidence. Altay are slowly digging their own grave here with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Besiktas match.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 221 minutes without scoring a league goal. Thaciano was the last player to find the net.

In their previous game, the manager Özbalta led his Altay to a defeat away at Besiktas. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here.

Before that, Altay drew at home versus Rizespor.

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

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Altay here in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (11 from 12 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Altay's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 16 times.
