Team News

Istanbulspor
Pendikspor
  • Simon Deli, who wasn't expected to start here, is manager Hakan Yakin's only injury concern.
  • Ibrahim Akdag will deputise for the injured Fredrik Midtsjo.
  • Endri Cekici will start on the left wing as Emeka Eze is also unavailable due to an injury.
  • Erencan Yadrimci will lead the attack in Koka's absence.
  • Thuram, Emre Tasdemir, and Oscar Romero, neither of whom were expected to start here, are on the injury list as well.

Prediction

  • Istanbulspor were beaten 3-1 by Kasimpasa last time out. They created quite a few chances but were not very effective in front of goal. Yakin's biggest problem is the number of individual errors his defence commits week in week out. The Swiss manager has to address that by either a personnel or tactical change if they are to keep the dreams of survival alive.
  • Pendikspor were demolished 5-0 by Fenerbahce. Losing by such a big margin to a team with Fenerbahce's attacking potency is not a shame but Pendikspor's performance was simply abysmal. They didn't even dare going forward and still managed to concede a plethora of chances.
  • The defensive frailties of both sides mean we are likely to see some goals here. And a draw is a likely result.
