Fatih Karagümrük form and stats

Fatih Karagümrük have collected seven points from their first three Super Lig games here at Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadı, a promising start.

Karagümrük haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 182 minutes ago. A. Bertolacci scored that one.

No payout for Karagümrük in their previous match, an away game at Sivasspor that ended in defeat 0-4. As you see from the result above, Fatih Karagümrük suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. The talented striker Kerim Frei outshone all others in that fixture and received a match rating of 7.02 out of 10. Frei hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 5 of 8 times and had 29 successful passes (of 32 total).

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Antalyaspor that ended 0-0.

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

İstanbul Başakşehir form and stats

It's not happening yet for İstanbul Başakşehir on their Super Lig travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on A. Kocaman, the İstanbul Başakşehir manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Başakşehir had fun at their own home (Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadı) last time out, beating Rizespor 3-0. Stefano Okaka (3) scored. It's hard not to mention Stefano Okaka's lethal finishing against Rizespor. three goals were a big reason for the important victory. Attacker Stefano Okaka got a player rating of 9.62 in the game. "Man of the match" Okaka scored three goals, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 30 successful passes (of 33 total).
