Competition: Turkey Super Lig
Date: Sun 27.October
Match begins: 14:30 (UTC)
Venue: Eryaman Stadyumu (22000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 14th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

W D L W D

Gençlerbirliği form and stats

Gençlerbirliği, who have the fewest scored goals (2) at home in Super Lig, have played 4 Super Lig games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). Gençlerbirliği have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Gençlerbirliği are returning here after visiting Antalyaspor in a Super Lig game and winning with a 6-0 scoreline. Before that, Gençlerbirliği drew at home versus Galatasaray.

As mentioned above, Gençlerbirliği "killed" Antalyaspor in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. Daniel Candeias was absolutely essential when Gençlerbirliği beat Antalyaspor 6-0, scoring 3 goals.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gençlerbirliği have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 6.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Erokspor are coming to town in three days.

Gençlerbirliği has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 2 goals from 4 games. Gençlerbirliği's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Denizlispor form and stats

1-2-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Denizlispor in their Super Lig matches away. Recent form does not give Denizlispor much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Gençlerbirliği will be a tough nut to crack.

Denizlispor failed to get anything from their last game, a Super Lig home match vs Fenerbahce (placed 3rd) that ended with defeat 1-2. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Kasımpaşa.

Denizlispor are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

A new game in only four days for Denizlispor, the Turkish Cup home match versus Icelspor. Busy days.

Denizlispor have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. Denizlispor have conceded 6 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Gençlerbirliği 2 wins, 3 draws and Denizlispor 5 victories. As for goals, 6 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 games had two or less.
