İstanbulspor and Antalyaspor have met many times over the past decade or so, and most results have been close — 2-2, 3-3, or decided by a single goal. This time both are in the same league under clearly different circumstances: the hosts are bottom of the table, while the visitors are in the upper half. İstanbulspor have won just one of their first 10 matches of the season and have already conceded 24 goals, averaging nearly two and a half per game. The defence is the main problem dragging the team down to the bottom. Antalyaspor, meanwhile, have won half of their matches, scoring 15, but they concede plenty too, so their games often finish with goals at both ends. The pattern is clear: Antalyaspor will see more of the ball, having controlled nearly 58% of possession over their last 10 matches, while İstanbulspor are comfortable sitting deep and waiting to counter. Such games tend to open up after half-time when the hosts have to push forward, and that is when goals are more likely than in the first half.
