Altay

LLLLLL 🆘

Altay will be hoping for a better result after a 1-3 1. Lig loss in their previous game against Corum.

In that match, Altay managed 36% possession and 6 shots at goal with 2 on target. Corum had 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Michał Nalepa (38') scored for Corum.

Their more recent scorelines can’t hide the truth which is that a bigger effort is required from the Altay defence. Altay have seen an unforgivable 21 goals fly into the back of their net over the course of their previous 6 clashes. We will have to see if that trend can be continued on in this game.

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Altay manager to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed group. Eren Erdoğan (Knock) is out of contention.

ℹ️ Team News: Manisa FK

Out of a mainly full-strength group of players, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the Manisa FK boss to be concerned about. Ayberk Karapo (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be playing here. The players ineligible for this match because of suspension are Kaan Kanak and Oğuz Gürbulak.
