A home victory is anticipated from this match if the league standings is a way to look into the future. The İstanbul Başakşehir regulars are hopeful that the difference between 4th and Giresunspor's 16th place in the table will be visible on the arena.

Insights:
  • İstanbul Başakşehir have the fewest conceded goals (4) in Super Lig
  • Giresunspor have the fewest scored goals in the first half (0) 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.

These are busy days for the hometeam, as they were in action only four days ago in the Europa Conference League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Fiorentina.
