Match context and immediate form
Bolu will welcome Alanyaspor to the modest Bolu Atatürk Stadyumu on 04/02/2026 in a Turkish Cup group-stage fixture that promises rhythm and a fair bit of drama. Boluspor arrive off a morale-boosting 2-0 league win over Sakaryaspor, a result that halted a stuttering sequence and showcased Lucas Lima as the standout performer in that match. Yet the home side’s cup status — seventh in the group with a single point from two matches — underlines an uphill task. They’ve been inconsistent in recent weeks, alternating wins and heavy defeats, and their attacking output in the cup has so far been modest.
Alanyaspor, by contrast, sit second in the group and bring a more assertive statistical profile. Despite a recent 1-3 reverse to Eyüpspor in the Super Lig, their cup form shows productivity: eight away goals registered in group play and a high volume of attempts. Ui-jo Hwang was the top performer in that recent outing, but it’s Alanyaspor’s overall metrics — far more shots, more corners and a higher share of dangerous attacks — that make them the clear favorites on paper. Their away numbers are particularly eye-catching: an aggressive attacks average and a healthy conversion into goals away from home.
Tactical outlook and what to expect
This clash looks likely to be more open than tight. Boluspor’s home figures suggest they can create chances but also concede, while Alanyaspor’s attacking aggressiveness points to a game that could tilt toward the visitors when it comes to possession and final-third entries. Both teams have shown a decent frequency of matches finishing with multiple goals — Boluspor’s cup games have seen over 2.5 frequently, and Alanyaspor’s over-2.5 percentage is even higher. Set-piece influence may be relevant too, with Alanyaspor averaging more corners and dangerous attacks, increasing their chance of breaking through.
Head-to-head history is thin — the last recorded meeting dates back to 2016 — so recent form and season statistics are the best guide. Expect Alanyaspor to press, Boluspor to counter and for transitions to create scoring opportunities at both ends.
Betting suggestion
Given the data — Alanyaspor’s superior shot volume and attacking numbers coupled with Boluspor’s tendency to both score and concede — the most compelling market here is the goal market. Backing Over 2.5 goals looks the most sensible play: both sides have produced multiple-goal affairs recently, Alanyaspor have been prolific away in cup action, and Boluspor’s mixed defensive record leaves room for visiting chances.
