Midfielder Chouiar was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.83. Chouiar scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rizespor wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Malatyaspor played away with similar odds.

A quick return to home after this game, as Malatyaspor are hosting Bandrmaspor in the Turkish Cup only four days away.
