Kocaelispor welcome İstanbul Başakşehir at Kocaeli Stadium on Sunday, Jan 24 at 7:00 PM in a Süper Lig fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Kocaelispor come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). İstanbul Başakşehir, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Kocaelispor head into this on the back of a defeat, while İstanbul Başakşehir arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
Despite playing at home, Kocaelispor face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. İstanbul Başakşehir have won 8 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Kocaelispor won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Kocaelispor a slight edge, but İstanbul Başakşehir are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
