It's no vacation for neither Balıkesirspor nor Altındağ Spor as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Altındağ Spor form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Turk Metal Krkkale in order to reach 2nd round of Turkish Cup. Last season their Turkish Cup adventure ended in the 2nd round.Altındağ play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-3 victory visiting Eskisehirspor. A bizarre game with an abundance of goals last time out for Altındağ Spor, as mentioned above. 7 goals in total, will this game be as full of joy? World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Özdemir when Aydoğdu scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute.
Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Karakopru Belediyespor.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Altındağ playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 0 away wins, 3 draws and 1 home win.
