An important duel in the bottom section of the Super Lig, with both Kayserispor and Gençlerbirliği experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 13th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Kayserispor form and stats
4-5-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Super Lig numbers at home for Kayserispor, who have the most conceded goals (64) in Super Lig, so far this season. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Kayserispor after consecutive victories at their own ground.
The fans are hoping that Kayserispor will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Super Lig game against Fenerbahce (placed 7th). Before that, Kayserispor had a home game versus Yeni Malatyaspor which ended with a victory 2-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Kayserispor perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kayserispor as a small favourite), we find ten games. Kayserispor has won four of these, drawn four and lost two.
The Kayserispor fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 13 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Kayserispor defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Gençlerbirliği form and stats
There's been little loot from Gençlerbirliği's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 13 away games in the Super Lig. Gençlerbirliği only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. Gençlerbirliği seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Gençlerbirliği won their last game, 2-1 versus Konyaspor played at home. Prior to that match, the Gençlerbirliği manager H. Hamzaoğlu faced defeat when travelling to Denizlispor and losing 0-1.
Berat Ayberk Özdemir came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Konyaspor last time out, making the manager H. Hamzaoğlu feel like a tactical genius.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Gençlerbirliği in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Gençlerbirliği, one draw and four defeats.
Gençlerbirliği have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 13 league away games 18 goals have been scored. The Gençlerbirliği manager H. Hamzaoğlu has some worries about the defense as 28 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Gençlerbirliği - Kayserispor 2-1, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Kayserispor won five games, zero matches ended with a draw and Gençlerbirliği has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / fiveTop Goalscorers
