Balıkesirspor

LLLLDL ⚠

Balıkesirspor will be hoping to bounce back here after a 1-0 1. Lig loss in their previous game against Boluspor.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games where Balıkesirspor haven’t conceded. The facts show that Balıkesirspor have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 13 goals on the way. We shall soon see if that trend can be sustained here.

A look at their previous results shows us that Balıkesirspor:

• have not registered a win against Samsunspor in their previous 3 league games.
• haven’t won at home in the past 6 matches in the league. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.
