Season ticket holders at Malatya İnönü Stadyumu haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Yeni Malatyaspor languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting Gençlerbirliği will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Gençlerbirliği have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Relegation threatens Malatyaspor who should definitely be looking for some points here. Gençlerbirliği are struggling to avoid relegation.

Gençlerbirliği form and stats

There's been little loot from Gençlerbirliği's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 14 away games in the Super Lig. Gençlerbirliği only have 3 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Gençlerbirliği's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Gençlerbirliği have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 187 minutes ago. B. A. Ozdemir was the goal scorer.

Home advantage was not enough for Gençlerbirliği in their previous game, as they lost their Super Lig-match, hosting Kasımpaşa, 0-2. Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Kayserispor's place.

Gençlerbirliği goalkeeper Kristoffer Nordfeldt had a great day against Kasımpaşa, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gençlerbirliği playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were two Gençlerbirliği wins, one draw and five defeats.

A new game in only three days for Gençlerbirliği, the Super Lig home match versus Fenerbahçe. Busy days.
