Gençlerbirliği form and stats

Gençlerbirliği's struggle is real here at Eryaman Stadyumu with only 17 points collected from 17 Super Lig games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-5-8.

The home team returns to Eryaman Stadyumu after being equal after 90 minutes with Kayserispor (placed 17th) on their last time out; the Super Lig game ended 2-2. Preceding that match was the home game against Sivasspor that was lost 2-3.

The manager ?. Bizati will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Hatayspor in only four days.
