Yeni Malatyaspor form and stats

Yeni Malatyaspor's results here at Malatya Inönü Stadyumu in the Super Lig have been very modest with 3 victories, 3 draws and 10 defeats.

Malatyaspor lost their last game at Galatasaray (placed 12th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Yeni Malatyaspor's goalkeeper Damlu was extremely busy against Galatasaray, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Giresunspor (0-1).

Yeni Malatyaspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 16 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. When Malatyaspor hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Gazisehir Gaziantep, Kayserispor, Rizespor, Giresunspor, Goztepe and Altay), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
