On Jan 4th, Kasımpaşa and Alanyaspor will play a match in İstanbul in a clash of the Super Lig. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, Kasımpaşa recorded a 1-2 loss against İstanbulspor. Raoul Petretta struck first for Kasımpaşa in the 25th minute, then in the 29th minute, Muammer Sarikaya sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Valon Ethemi But luckily in the 78th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Emir Kaan Gultekin. Kasımpaşa looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while 9th placed Alanyaspor is fresh off their 3-1 win against Kayserispor. Koka struck first for Alanyaspor in the 21st minute, then Yusuf Özdemir added another in the 36th minute on a feed from Rúnar Alex Rúnarsson. Alanyaspor is looking for direction having 3 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Alanyaspor won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Alanyaspor’s top weapon lately has been Koka, who has three goals in the last five matches. Haris Hajradinović and Bengali-Fodé Koita are the top scorers for Kasımpaşa in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Tarkan Serbest is unavailable to play for Şenol Can’s team, while Francesco Farioli’s squad will be without Famara Diédhiou and Joher Khadim Rassoul.
