Kayserispor form and stats

3 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Kayserispor, who have the most conceded goals (61) in Super Lig, have to build on here at Kadir Has Şehir Stadı in the Super Lig.

In their previous game, the manager R. Prosinečki led his Kayserispor to a defeat in the Super Lig match away at Kasımpaşa. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Kadir Has Şehir Stadı. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Göztepe in a game that was won 1-0.

As you see from the result above, Kayserispor suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
