Antalyaspor won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 3-0 Super Lig defeat last time out to Çaykur Rizespor.
In that match, Antalyaspor had 67% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Caykur Rizespor got 15 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Altin Zeqiri (33', 60') and Adolfo Gaich (82') scored for Çaykur Rizespor.
It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Antalyaspor have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Antalyaspor have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 8 goals in the process.
Leading up to this clash, Antalyaspor:
- haven't been beaten in the league by Hatayspor in their last 4 games.
- are undefeated in their last 3 league matches at home.
Hatayspor

Since being beaten in their last game against Istanbulspor in Super Lig action, Hatayspor and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.
In that match, Hatayspor managed 57% possession and 13 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. On the other side, Istanbulspor got 14 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Florian Loshaj (68'), Mendy Mamadou (71') and Vefa Temel (87') scored for Istanbulspor.
The attacking players from Hatayspor have had real problems scoring goals in their past six encounters, contributing the disappointing return of just 4. In those matches, Hatayspor have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 9. We will just have to see whether or not that trend can be sustained into this next match.
Looking at their past form shows that Hatayspor:
- haven't won against Antalyaspor when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league games.
- have not won away from home in their last 4 matches in the league.

Team News: Antalyaspor
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just a single fitness concern for the Antalyaspor boss Sergen Yalçın to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Bünyamin Balcı (unknown injury) is out of contention. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Sagiv Jehezkel and Kağan Arıcan.
We think that Akrepler will possibly line up in a 4-1-4-1 formation for this game, utilising Helton Leite, Güray Vural, Veysel Sari, Bahadir Ozturk, Erdogan Yesilyurt, Jakub Kaluzinski, Sander Van de Streek, Dario Saric, Ramzi Safuri, Sam Larsson and Adam Buksa.

Thanks to a fully injury-free squad available to choose from, the Hatayspor boss Volkan Demirel has no fitness concerns to speak of before this clash.
We believe Hatayspor might make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Erce Kardesler, Rigoberto Rivas, Guy-Marcelin Kilama, Nikola Maksimovic, Faouzi Ghoulam, Massanga Matondo, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Kerim Alici, Rui Pedro, Halil Dervisoglu and Carlos Strandberg.
