Adanaspor

DDWWLL ⚖

Adanaspor will be hoping for a better result after the 1-0 1. Lig loss in their previous game against Bandırmaspor.

In that game, Adanaspor managed 62% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Bandırmaspor had 11 shots at goal with 6 of them on target. Loïs Diony (55') was the scorer for Bandırmaspor.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Adanaspor have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Adanaspor have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 6 goals during that time.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Adanaspor:

• have not lost a league tie with Istanbulspor in their last 3 games.
• haven't beaten Istanbulspor in their previous 2 league matches.

Istanbulspor head into the clash after a 5-0 1. Lig win to beat Gençlerbirliği in their previous fixture.

In that match, Istanbulspor had 45% possession and 17 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. For Istanbulspor, goals were scored by Emre Kaan Gültekin (15') and Florian Loshaj (71'). Gençlerbirliği got 7 attempts on goal with 1 on target.

A succession of effective displays from the Istanbulspor defensive unit has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their past 6 clashes overall. Over that same period of time, their own attack force has managed to score 11. It will be interesting to see if that trend will end up being sustained here.

Going into this encounter, Istanbulspor are without a win away from home in their last 5 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: Istanbulspor

Istanbulspor boss Osman Korkmaz has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Baran Alp Vardar (Cancer) and Tunahan Şamdanlı (Torn lateral knee ligament) are not able to play.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that over the course of the game, Adanaspor could well find it tough to put one past this Istanbulspor side who we think will be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

We therefore see a good tussle with a 0-1 win for Istanbulspor when all is said and done.

Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
