Venue: Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu (14234 seats)

Kasımpaşa are yearning to add to their goals scored at their own ground in the upcoming match hosting Giresunspor.

Insights:
  • Kasımpaşa have the fewest points from losing position (1) in Super Lig
  • Giresunspor have the fewest scored goals in the first half (4) 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.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kasımpaşa and Giresunspor.

Kasımpaşa form and stats

Kasımpaşa's struggle is real here at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu with only 11 points collected from 11 Super Lig games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-6. When Kasımpaşa hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Istanbulspor, Ümraniyespor, Hatayspor, Sivasspor, Kasımpaşa and Antalyaspor), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Kasımpaşa are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-5 away versus Fenerbahce. Kasımpaşa were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Canpolat had a busy but productive day in the Fenerbahce match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Preceding that match was the home game against Istanbul Basaksehir that was lost 1-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kasımpaşa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 3 and lost 5.

Observe: 10 of the most recent 11 league games from these players have seen goals scored by both teams.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kasımpaşa as they are travelling to their away game against Hatayspor in the Super Lig. That match is four days after this one.

The Kasımpaşa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Kasımpaşa are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (23 from 11 played).

Giresunspor form and stats

There's been little loot from Giresunspor's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 11 away games in the Super Lig. Giresunspor only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 5 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Giresunspor, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Giresunspor might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Galatasaray proved too strong as Giresunspor slumped to a 0-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Giresun Atatürk Stadyumu. Giresunspor lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one. Midfielder Savićević was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.21. Savićević hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.

Before that, Giresunspor travelled to Adana Demirspor and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Giresunspor are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of 14 matches.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Giresunspor's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 19 goals from these trips. When Giresunspor is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Istanbulspor, Ümraniyespor, Hatayspor, Sivasspor, Antalyaspor and Giresunspor.

Head 2 Head

As it happens, the last time Giresunspor kept a "clean sheet" was also facing this opposition, 18 league games ago (Giresunspor - Kasımpaşa 1-0). Last six meetings featuring these participants: Kasımpaşa won two, Giresunspor were winners in two and we saw two draws. one game with more than 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
