Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Tuzlaspor & İstanbul Başakşehir face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Turkish Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
İstanbul Başakşehir could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Super Lig game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Ankaragucu. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
Tuzlaspor form and stats
Tuzlaspor participated in Turkish Cup the last season, where they reached the 5th round and lost against Galatasaray.The home supporters can't complain about results here at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu as Tuzlaspor have scored 13 goals to get 16 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the 1. Lig are 5-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). 3W-0D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Turkish Cup for Tuzlaspor.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. Aias Aosman was the last player to find the net.
