Team News

Istanbulspor
Adana Demirspor
  • Manager Fatih Tekke has a full squad available to pick from.
  • Ismail Cokcalis will deputise for the injured Jonas Svensson.
  • Ertac Ozbir is suspended so Goran Karacic is expected to start in goal.

Prediction

  • Istanbulspor were beaten 1-0 by Kasimpasa last time out. Two weeks ago, Tekke's team looked like the likeliest of relegation candidates to go down but two defeats in a row have put them in a very dangerous position. They will be playing against one of the best counter-attacking sides in the league so Tekke cannot risk going out all attack here. Expect a conservative, low-tempo display by the hosts.
  • Adana Demirspor were demolished 4-1 by Besiktas last time out. Although they created as many chances as their guests, Montella's men were uncharacteristically poor in front of goal. Perhaps more importantly allowed Besiktas control of the midfield and were punished for that. They have all but guaranteed finishing in fourth place so might suffer from lapses of concentration in the remaining weeks.
  • Istanbulspor have everything to play for here and they will certainly put up a fight. However, whether they have the quality to get anything out of this is an entirely different matter.
