A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 6th and 13th place in the table will show on the pitch.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Turkish Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus Istanbulspor, was also a home game here at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. The away team is better rested.
