Istanbulspor desperately need points on Sunday, Jan 31 at 6:00 PM in the 1st Lig. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Fatih Karagumruk come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Istanbulspor travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Fatih Karagumruk lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Fatih Karagumruk a slight edge, but Istanbulspor are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
