Hatayspor form and stats

Hatayspor have played 9 Super Lig games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Hatayspor, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Menemen Belediyespor.

Galatasaray form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Galatasaray so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-4 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Galatasaray are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super Lig home defeat versus Giresunspor with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Defender Boey was the best team player with a rating of 7.31. Boey hit one key pass and won 5 of 8 duels.

A draw for Galatasaray before that, at their own venue hosting Denizlispor (after extra-time, 5-6 on penalties) (3-3).

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Kasımpaşa in just four days.

The visiting Galatasaray have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 11 goals from 10 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Galatasaray's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
