Struggling Kasimpasa will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Galatasaray in the upcoming league round. It's 16th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Turkish Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at Alanyaspor. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Kasımpaşa form and stats
With 1 Super Lig win, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Kasımpaşa are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home stadium (Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Kasımpaşa it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
Kasımpaşa drew their last game, 1-1 away at Ankaragucu (placed 16th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Alanyaspor (1-2).
A decent goal production from Kasımpaşa in their home games so far, with 14 goals from 9 league matches. Kasımpaşa are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (19 from 9 played).
Galatasaray form and stats
As the visiting team in Super Lig matches, Galatasaray, who have the most clean sheets (8) in Super Lig, have produced an overall stat of 3-3-3 so far. The fact that Galatasaray have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Galatasaray, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Alanyaspor (placed 4th). That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Kayserispor in the Super Lig.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Alanyaspor in just three days.
Galatasaray have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. Galatasaray have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.
