Denizlispor form and stats

Denizlispor's results here at Denizli Atatürk Stadyumu in the Super Lig have been very modest with 4 victories, 6 draws and 9 defeats. 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 eleven attempts.

Stress levels are on the rise for Denizlispor's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. S. Aytac was their last goal scorer.

Denizlispor lost their last game at Hatayspor (placed 5th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Rizespor (0-1).

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Hugo Rodallega for missing a penalty kick versus Hatayspor in the 35th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Denizlispor are traveling soon after this match as the Super Lig match at Fatih Karagümrük awaits in four days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Denizlispor here at Denizli Atatürk Stadyumu in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (16 from 19 games). On the other hand, Denizlispor have conceded 23 goals.

The away team, who have the fewest conceded goals (34) in Super Lig, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 13 wins, 0 draws and only 6 losses in the Super Lig. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Galatasaray hope to make it five in this match. It’s been three wins in a row for Galatasaray on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.

Galatasaray had fun at their own home (Denizli Atatürk Stadyumu) last time out, beating Beşiktaş 3-1. Radamel Falcao, Ryan Babel and Arda Turan scored. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Gençlerbirliği at their stadium, the result 2-0.

After this away game Galatasaray return home for a Super Lig game against Yeni Malatyaspor. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The travelling fans enjoy Galatasaray's attacking play in away games, having scored 31 goals in 19 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Galatasaray as they have only conceded 18 goals from these away games.
