Gençlerbirliği form and stats

With 1 Super Lig win, 3 draws and 2 defeats from their home games, Gençlerbirliği are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Gençlerbirliği faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sivasspor (1-3). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Ankaragücü.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Gençlerbirliği have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).

Kayserispor form and stats

There's been little loot from Kayserispor's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 6 away games in the Super Lig. Kayserispor, who have the fewest scored goals (7) in Super Lig, only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 2 draws.

Kayserispor's previous game was their home loss versus Konyaspor (1-2). Prior to that match, the Kayserispor manager B. Bektaş faced defeat when travelling to Antalyaspor and losing 0-2.

It's a bit worrying for Kayserispor that their goalkeeper İsmail Çipe made six saves in the Konyaspor game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss. Late heartbreak for Kayserispor in the Konyaspor match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Kayserispor playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were one Kayserispor win, three draws and three defeats.

Goals are few and far between in Kayserispor's away league games. Only 3 goals from 6 travels. 7 goals have been conceded by Kayserispor in these games.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Gençlerbirliği won five, Kayserispor won five and zero draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
