Kayserispor form and stats

There's been little loot from Kayserispor's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 8 away games in the Super Lig. Kayserispor, who have the most conceded goals (36) in Super Lig, only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of Kayserispor, having lost seven matches in a row as the visiting team. Three has not been a lucky number for Kayserispor as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Rizespor match.

Kayserispor play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-6 to Trabzonspor (placed 4th). A 1-4 loss hosting İstanbul Başakşehir before that.

Kayserispor lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 2-6 beating and focus on this one. Kayserispor goalkeeper İsmail Çipe had a great day against Trabzonspor, but despite making 9 saves the loss could not be avoided.

Kayserispor are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found eight matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. Of the defeats, 3 games were lost by at least two goals margin.

The attacking power of Kayserispor when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Kayserispor's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 22 goals in 8 travels.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Trabzonspor - Kayserispor 6-2 played earlier this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Trabzonspor won 8, Kayserispor won 1 and 1 draw. 6 games with over 2,5 goals, 4 matches with two goals or less.
