Istanbulspor desperately need points on Wednesday, Feb 17 at 6:00 PM in the 1st Lig. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Istanbulspor come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Kayserispor, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Istanbulspor and Kayserispor have split their 9 meetings almost evenly (3W–2D–4W). Their last encounter ended in Istanbulspor won 0–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Kayserispor's quality should tell even on the road. Istanbulspor will push, but the visitors have too much class. Kayserispor to win.
