📋 Team News: Pendikspor

Fredrik Midtsjø (strain) and Berkay Sülüngöz (unknown injury) will be missing for Pendikspor gaffer İbrahim Üzülmez. Erdem Canpolat is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It looks as if Pendikspor will probably go for a 4-3-3 formation for this one with Burak Ögür, Serkan Asan, Alpaslan Öztürk, Murat Akca, Nuno Sequeira, Gökcan Kaya, Papa Alioune Ndiaye, Arnaud Lusamba, Halil Akbunar, Umut Nayir and Mame Baba Thiam.

📋 Team News: Kayserispor

Kayserispor boss Burak Yılmaz has a number of players out of action. Anthony Uzodimma (Cartilage damage), Lionel Carole (Muscle injury), Ali Karimi (Lumbar vertebra problems), Majid Hosseini (Ankle injury) and Julian Jeanvier (Meniscus tear) will miss out on this game.

We’re of the thinking that Anadolu Yıldızı could decide to begin the game with a 4-1-4-1 lineup by sending out Bilal Bayazit, Gökhan Sazdagi, Dimitris Kolovetsios, Arif Kocaman, Hasan Ali Kaldirim, Mehdi Bourabia, Aylton Boa Morte, Otabek Shukurov, Kartal Yilmaz, Miguel Cardoso and Stephane Bahoken.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that Kayserispor might have a difficult job to breach the defence of this Pendikspor outfit who we think should manage to score & go ahead.

We’re therefore anticipating a good battle with a 1-0 victory for Pendikspor when all is said and done.
