Peter Green - October 25, 2018
Erzurumspor vs Kasimpasa
Turkey – Super Lig
Date: Saturday, 27 October 2018
Kick-Off at 11:30 UK/ 12:30 CET
Venue: Kâzım Karabekir Stadyumu (Erzurum).
The hosts are comparatively new to the footballing world. They were founded back in 2005 and was promoted to Super Lig last season. They finished 5th in the First League and qualified for top tier via play-offs.
Team led by Coach Mehmet Altiparmak was last seen in the league in a 0-0 draw away against Trabzonspor. The team was ill disciplined committing 14 fouls and gathering 3 yellow cards also.
The main problem was lack of possession and after 9 rounds played they have conceded 11 goals.
If they play like this they will be only in the Super Lig for this season only. They are in relegation zone with 1 win and 5 losses.
Apaches have Mustafa Denizli as their coach and he helped the team finish 8th in the league last season.
His side are currently 3rd in the league winning their 6 matches in 9 rounds. The team has scored 22 goals and conceded 15 this season.
Last action in the league was a 5-0 home victory against Akhisar Beledige who are last in the table. A brace from Mbaye Diagne was the highlight of their score line. Other goals came from Trezeguet, Tarkan Serbest and Samuel Eduok. All goals came in the second half.
Diagne is the top scorer in the league with 10 goals. He also has 2 assists in the league.
Another star in their lineup is Eduok who has scored 4 and assisted 3 times.
Kasimpasa are far better in all aspects of the game than the newly promoted team.
With players like Diagne in their lineup it will be a walk in the park for the team who are in prime form. The away side will be dominant in the midfield and won’t allow their counterparts to pass freely.
The conceding stats of the home side will possibly get worse after this encounter.
