On Saturday Aug 20th, in week 3, Kasımpaşa will travel to Giresun to battle Giresunspor in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Super Lig teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Giresunspor recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Galatasaray. Borja Sainz struck first for Giresunspor in the 77th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Galatasaray couldn’t manage to score, and Giresunspor took the shutout win. Giresunspor is looking for direction having 1 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches, while kasımpaşa sits at 19th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-6 blowout loss against Fenerbahçe. Joshua King struck first for Fenerbahçe in the 8th minute, then Enner Valencia added another in the 34th minute on a feed from Lincoln In the end, Kasımpaşa couldn’t muster any offence and Fenerbahçe ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Kasımpaşa won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Kasımpaşa is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Umut Bozok and Valentin Eysseric each having 2 goals in their last 5. Giresunspor’s top weapon lately has been Borja Sainz, who has 2 goals in the last five matches.
