Kayserispor form and stats

The fans are hoping that Kayserispor will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-4 away loss in the Super Lig game against Beşiktaş (placed 7th).

Ahead of that match, Kayserispor won a home game hosting Antalyaspor (2-0).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Kayserispor have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won five, drawn six and lost two.

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

A decent goal production from Kayserispor in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. From these home matches, Kayserispor have conceded only 5 goals.
