Preview: Fatih Karagumruk vs. Giresunspor - prediction, team news, lineups

sportsmole.co.uk, 8 September 2022, 08:41
Fatih Karagumruk welcome Giresunspor to the Ataturk Olimpiyat in round six of the 2022/23 Turkish Super Lig season on Saturday evening.

Having both failed to come out on top in their respective last outings, the teams will be looking to return to winning ways in this weekend's meeting in Istanbul.

Match preview

Fatih Karagumruk were denied consecutive wins for the first time this term courtesy of a goalless stalemate against Sivasspor at the Yeni 4 Eylul Stadyumu on Saturday.

Despite enjoying the the lion's share of the ball possession, Andrea Pirlo's men failed to find the cutting edge in attack needed to break the deadlock.

As a result, the Kara Kirmizi have dropped down to 14th place in the Super Lig table and are now just one point above the relegation zone.

On the horizon next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who have only come out on top in one of the previous five meetings between the teams.

Off the back of eight victories from their most recent 10 matches on home turf, Saturday's hosts will fancy themselves to get the job done in front of their fans once again.

Giresunspor fell to back to back defeats for the first time this season as they were beaten 1-0 by Konyaspor in Saturday's encounter at the Cotanak Stadyumu.

Hakan Keles's men fell to behind to Muhammet Demir's 51st-minute opener and failed to muster up a response in the remaining 39 minutes that ensued.

With six points picked up from five outings so far, The Cotanaklar remain 11th in the league standings albeit only outside the top half only on goal difference.

Following a 3-0 demolition in their last involvement away from home, Saturday's visitors go in search of what would be only their second competitive win on the road since April.

Jimmy Durmaz was on target for Fatih Karagumruk in the last clash against Giresunspor and the Swede will be looking to deliver the goods here.

Samed Onur and Efe Tatli are both ruled of action for the home side as they continue to nurse ankle and muscle injuries respectively.

After finding the back of the net in his first two appearances of the campaign, Borja Sainz is without a goal in the subsequent three heading into Saturday's contest.

Faruk Can Genc is poised to make his debut for the visitors in this one after recently arriving from Trabzonspor on a season-long loan deal.
