The action continues in round 19 of the Turkish Super Lig as Istanbulspor journey to the New Adana Stadium to face Adana Demirspor on Wednesday.
Having endured a disappointing first half of the season, Hakan Yakin’s men are currently the leading relegation candidates as they sit rooted to the bottom of the league table.
Adana Demirspor were denied successive wins for the first time since October as they were held to a goalless draw by Istanbul Basaksehir in their first outing of the year.
Prior to that, Serkan Damla’s side snapped their six-game winless run in their final game of 2023 courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Antalyaspor.
With 28 points from 18 matches, Demirspor are currently seventh in the Super Lig table but could rise into fourth place with all three points on Wednesday.
Istanbulspor, on the other hand, were left empty-handed yet again as they suffered a 5-1 hammering at the hands of Fenerbahce on Sunday.
Yakin’s men have now lost four consecutive matches, conceding 10 goals and scoring just once since a 2-1 victory over Hatayspor on November 25.
Istanbulspor have picked up just five points from their 18 league matches so far and are currently rooted to the bottom of the table, 13 points away from safety.
