Istanbulspor desperately need points on Sunday, Apr 11 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 (0W 3L in last 5). Pendikspor, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Istanbulspor head into this on the back of a defeat, while Pendikspor arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Istanbulspor and Pendikspor have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

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