Super Lig: What this match might lack in elegance it should compensate in pace and dedication. Get set for Galatasaray - Giresunspor!

Insights:
  • Galatasaray have won at least twice as many corners as they have conceded at home.
  • Giresunspor have the fewest scored goals in the first half (4) in Super Lig

These teams have little in common geographically as Giresunspor have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both participants have had sufficient rest since their last work day in an official game. Let's wish for an active game!

Galatasaray form and stats

5-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Super Lig numbers at home for Galatasaray so far this season.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Galatasaray, who played 3-3 against Denizlispor (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties). That match was also played at this venue (Vodafone Stadyumu). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Before that, Galatasaray had a Super Lig home game versus Antalyaspor which ended with a victory 2-0.

Galatasaray are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 9 games. From these home matches, Galatasaray have conceded only 8 goals.

Giresunspor form and stats

There's been little loot from Giresunspor's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 9 away games in the Super Lig. Giresunspor only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. Giresunspor has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Giresunspor lost away at Antalyaspor (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A loss against Hatayspor was the result prior to that, in a Super Lig home game.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 9 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Giresunspor have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Giresunspor - Galatasaray 0-2 was the end result in these sides' previous h2h match, earlier this season. Numbers for the last two meetings involving these two teams are: two wins for Galatasaray, zero draws and zero wins for Giresunspor. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: one game.
