Struggling İstanbul Başakşehir will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Hatayspor in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 7th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Hatayspor has the most clean sheets (5) away in Super Lig
Başakşehir have less rest than Hatayspor in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Super Cup game only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Trabzonspor, was also a home game here at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu. The away team is better rested.
These teams have little in common geographically as Hatayspor have to travel 1100 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
İstanbul Başakşehir form and stats
Overall Super Lig stats at home this season for İstanbul Başakşehir are 3-5-2 (wins-draw-losses). Two draws in a row at home now for Başakşehir.
Başakşehir's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Trabzonspor (placed 6th). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Super Lig home game that ended 1-1 versus Rizespor.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Başakşehir matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, four draws and zero defeats (from five games).
The manager O. Buruk will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Galatasaray in only three days.
The İstanbul Başakşehir fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 16 goals in 10 league matches. Başakşehir have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Hatayspor form and stats
As the visiting team in Super Lig matches, Hatayspor, who have the most clean sheets (5) away in Super Lig, have produced an overall stat of 4-2-4 so far.
Hatayspor has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Gazisehir Gaziantep for a Super Lig game that ended a draw (1-1). A 1-2 loss hosting Yeni Malatyaspor before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Hatayspor playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, one draw and zero home wins.
A new game in only three days for Hatayspor, the Super Lig home match versus Fenerbahce. Busy days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Hatayspor have scored 12 goals in 10 league games away. Hatayspor have conceded 15 goals in these games.
