There have been limited time to rest for the host team, as they were involved in a Turkish Cup match only four days earlier. This match was also played here at Kadir Has Şehir Stadı. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Fatih Karagümrük have had more rest.

Kayserispor have played 4 Super Lig games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Kayserispor to get some points in this home game.

A nice win for Kayserispor last time playing, versus Artvin Hopaspor (after extra-time). That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Miguel Cardoso and M. Pektemek scoring for the victors.
