DWDWLW

Pendikspor head into the clash following a 2-1 1. Lig win with the downing of Bandırmaspor in their previous fixture.

Pendikspor have been a threat going forward leading up to this encounter, scoring 13 goals in their previous 6 matches. While their manager will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Pendikspor can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same games. That kind of pattern might not be continued into this game, of course.
