Erokspor
WDWDWL
Erokspor will be looking for an improved result here following the 1-0 1. Lig defeat last time out to Bandırmaspor.
In that game, Erokspor had 61% possession and 9 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Bandırmaspor got 9 attempts at goal with 5 on target. Loïs Diony (17') scored for Bandırmaspor.
Erokspor have not been the best at stopping their opponents recently, but they have also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Erokspor have seen their goal breached in 6 of them in addition to scoring in 5 of those matches. That being said, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern shall be sustained here in this game.
Coming into this contest, Erokspor are unbeaten in their previous 5 league matches at home.

🗞️
Team News: Istanbulspor
Thanks to a mainly full-strength squad, there’s just the lone fitness problem for the Istanbulspor gaffer Osman Korkmaz to be concerned with. Baran Alp Vardar (Cancer) misses out for this game.
🔮
Prediction
Our assessment here is that Erokspor might well have a job on their hands to find the net against this Istanbulspor outfit who will likely do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.
We’re therefore seeing a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 winning margin for Istanbulspor when all is said and done.
Let’s see what happens.
