National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Giresunspor or Niğde Belediyespor that keep their silverware dream alive.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the 1. Lig. Thankfully the previous game, versus Samsunspor, was also a home game here at Giresun Atatürk Stadyumu. The away team is better rested.
Giresunspor form and stats
Last season, Giresunspor's Turkish Cup journey ended in the 3rd round.2 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Giresunspor have to build on here at Giresun Atatürk Stadyumu in the 1. Lig.
Giresunspor drew their last game, also a home match. Samsunspor was the opponent, 0-0 the score. A strong away win before that one, visiting Bandrmaspor and winning 1-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Giresunspor as they are travelling to their away game against İstanbulspor in the 1. Lig. That match is four days after this one.
The Giresunspor fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 7 goals in 4 league matches. Giresunspor have conceded 6 from these games.
Niğde Belediyespor form and stats
Belediyespor was sent out of Turkish Cup in the 4th round last season.A depressing five defeats in a row for Belediyespor in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Karabukspor.
Niğde Belediyespor lost away at Ergene Velimesespor (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
