In the aftermath of a 6-0 away mauling at the hands of Alanyaspor, the Istanbulspor team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Alanyaspor, who had 17 shots on goal with 7 on target.  

They have bagged 5 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 15 times in that period.  They have conceded at least one goal in 16 of their 17 home games this season.  

Serious concerns will be mounting for Boğalar, having gone without a home league win in their last 10 games and losing the last 5 games in a row at Necmi Kadıoğlu Stadyumu.

Building up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Adana Demirspor supremo Hikmet Karaman after sustaining a heavy 3-0 home loss to Galatasaray.  In that game they recorded 40 % of the possession, with 18 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 9 of their 25 shots on goal.  

When it comes to attacking power Karaman will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 9 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.  

An away win for Adana Demirspor is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 17 games.  

On an individual basis, Mario Balotelli will be looking to cause Istanbulspor some problems having scored 2 goals in Adana Demirspor's last 6 away games in the league.
