Giresunspor

LLLLLL 🚑

Giresunspor will be wanting a better result here after a 0-3 1. Lig losing effort in their last game against Göztepe.

In that game, Giresunspor had 38% possession and 11 shots on goal with 3 on target. For their opponents, Göztepe got 19 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Yalçın Kayan (41', 49') and Ümit Akdağ (68') scored for Göztepe.

Their most recent results shine a light on the fact that much more can be done by the Giresunspor backline. Giresunspor have watched an unforgivable 18 goals fly into the back of their net during the period covering their previous 6 tussles. Nonetheless, we’ll just have to find out whether that pattern will be maintained in this next match.

Going into this encounter, Giresunspor haven’t won at home in the past 9 matches in the league. No joy for the home fans.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Giresunspor are likely to put one past this Sakaryaspo team, although one goal possibly won’t quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re therefore tipping a 1-2 winning score for Sakaryaspo at full-time. Should be a good one.
