Istanbulspor desperately need points on Sunday, Jan 24 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). Van Spor Kulubu, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Istanbulspor and Van Spor Kulubu have split their 3 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Istanbulspor won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.3 per game in recent meetings.

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