BB Erzurumspor, who have the most conceded goals (25) in Super Lig, have only managed 0 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses from their games here at Kazım Karabekir Stadyumu. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

BB Erzurumspor are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 361 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by R. Gomes).
