Genclerbirligi last week drew wtih Trabzon 0-0 after a good game. They deserved to get at least a point there. Before that game they got a 2-0 win against Gaziantepspor. But i can easily say that poor performances of Gaziantepspor and Trabzonspor helped them very much.

Istanbul BB last week lost to Galatasaray with 3-0. They failed to create chances and got a deserved loss. They are one of the teams in the league lacking motivation. Another point is they show great performances against big teams but in regular games they are much unsuccessful. One more point here i have to point is their stadium. I listen in a TV program about Ataturk Olimpic Stadium. Istanbul BB plays their games in that stadium where Galatasaray also played their games one season. Many players say that for someone who is unfamiliar to that stadium it is difficult adopt there. These info parallel with the stats where IBB collected most of their points at home and their poorest game was against Galatarasay who are used to that stadium in previous years. By the way IBB will be without GK Hasagic and Metin Deper who are injured.

After poor Galatasaray game IBB is showed underdog here. I don't think they are such underdog. But motivation factor in favor of Genclerbirligi ahould also be considered. For someone who is interested in fixing theories i can say that it is not very likely here. Even it is more likely that IBB has stronger bounds with Rizespor duo to hometowns of the politics.
