Bodrumsporvs.Adana Demirspor

sportsmole.co.uk, 27 September 2024, 11:37
Bodrumspor have the opportunity to pick up successive wins in the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig for the first time this season when they take on Adana Demirspor at Bodrum Ilce Stadi on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the visitors will be looking to end a three-match losing streak and possibly pick up their first win of the campaign.

Match preview

Bodrum secured their first competitive victory against Hatayspor, triumphing 1-0 at Mersin Stadyumu last Friday, thanks to Taulan Sulejmanov's 27th-minute strike.

Ismet Tasdemir's team has faced challenges in their maiden top-flight campaign, suffering four defeats and securing two wins from six matches, which leaves them positioned in 13th place with six points.

Nevertheless, the elation of a second victory, and their first away from home, would have significantly boosted their confidence - moreover, the prospect of facing the league's weakest team could further improve their fortunes.

This will be the inaugural encounter between both sides, and it could not have arrived at a more opportune moment for the hosts, who seek consecutive top-flight wins for the first time in their history.

Tasdemir's men have contested three home matches this season, with the win over Konyaspor sandwiched between 1-0 losses to Gaziantep and Istanbul Basaksehir.

After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Adana Demirspor are treading a fine line this season as they remain rooted to the bottom of the table with one point.

Five defeats and one draw in the opening six matches have left the Blue Lightnings three points adrift of safety, and the club's hierarchy have moved swiftly to change things now that the situation is still retrievable.

Michael Valkanis, who took over Adana's managerial role in July, was sacked after the club's 2-0 defeat at home to Alanyaspor last time out, but a replacement is yet to be announced, suggesting that one of the assistants will be in charge of Sunday's game.

Adana have the joint-worst defence in the league, having conceded 14 goals alongside Caykur Rizespor, but just five of those goals have been on the road, suggesting that the visitors defend better away from home.

The 2-2 away draw with Kasimpasa is the sole point that the Blue Lightnings have picked up this season, and a similar result on Sunday will be seen as a starting point to turning around their season.
