Prediction

  • Pendikspor were beaten 4-1 by Fenerbahce last time out. However, the scoreline is rather misleading. Fenerbahce scored their second only at the 87th minute and Pendikspor played the final minutes of the game with 9 men. So, despite the embarrassing looking scoreline, there were actually quite a few positives new manager Uzulmez could get out of the game, such as conceding very few chances from open play against a team like the Canaries.
  • Istanbulspor were beaten 2-1 by Kasimpasa last time out. Although they were 1-0 up at one point, Istanbulspor never looked in control and deserved to lose in the end. It is all but certain that they will be going down at the end of the season and although they are fighting hard every single game, there just is not enough quality in this squad.
  • Anything but a win here would do real damage do Pendikspor's survival hopes and morale. Uzulmez, with his no-nonsense approach, is likely to lead them to a victory.
