Crucial shoot-out in the lower section of the Super Lig, with both Altay and Giresunspor suffering more distress than bliss. This match is a real "six-pointer" with the hosting team at 17th and the guests in 14th place.

Insights:
  • Altay have the fewest scored goals (17) at home in Super Lig
  • Giresunspor have the fewest scored goals in the first half (12) in Super Lig

Giresunspor have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

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!

Altay form and stats

Altay, who have the fewest scored goals (17) at home in Super Lig, have played 17 Super Lig games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-9 (wins-draws-losses). When Altay hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Gaziantep F.K., Kayserispor, Yeni Malatyaspor, Rizespor, Göztepe and Altay), they have won 4 of 5 matches!

Happy days for Altay in their previous game, a fixture away at Hatayspor (placed 10th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Yildirim (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.31/10. Yildirim served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 28 successful passes (of 30 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Galatasaray that was lost 0-1.

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 Altay have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found twelve games) they have won four times, drawn four and lost four.

Altay have conceded 22 in these home matches.

Giresunspor form and stats

The visitors are W5-D3-L9 on the road this term. That's in the Super Lig.

Giresunspor go into this game after a win, the home game against Adana Demirspor that ended 2-0. Nayir, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.93. Nayir scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A 1-2 defeat away at Fatih Karagümrük before that.

We have checked recent matches where Giresunspor have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eleven games were three victories, four draws and four defeats.

The attacking power of Giresunspor when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 17 league matches away. 21 goals have been conceded by Giresunspor in these games.
