Match outlook: Sarıyer defend home pride against a struggling Adana Demirspor
This Tuesday's meeting at Yusuf Ziya Öniş Stadyumu promises to be a one-sided affair on paper, and the numbers back up that impression. Sarıyer SK arrive sitting 15th in the table with 31 points from 26 matches, a side still capable of picking up results at home — their 7 clean sheets this season underline a defensive resilience that will be important against an Adana Demirspor side battered and bruised. Adana occupy the bottom spot with just 3 points, 0 wins from 26, and an astonishing 115 goals conceded so far. Those figures alone set the tone: Sarıyer will fancy their chances to control this game and frustrate a visiting team that has rarely looked competitive all season.
Recent form and psychological edges
Sarıyer's recent run is mixed but shows signs of character; they drew their last match 1-1 against Amed SK on 19 February where André Poko stood out with the best player rating of 7.6. That result followed a home victory against Sivasspor earlier in the month and a string of results that suggest they can grind out performances when matters get tight. By contrast, Adana Demirspor have been unable to arrest a freefall — nine losses in their last ten, and a single draw in that sequence. Their most recent outing also finished 1-1 against Sivasspor, with G. Tunç earning a 7.19 rating, but isolated bright spots like that haven't been enough to change the season’s narrative.
Head-to-head history offers a clear psychological reminder for Adana: the clubs met in September and Sarıyer ran out 3-0 winners away from home, a result that will still be fresh in the visitors’ minds. Playing at Sarıyer’s 7,000-capacity Yusuf Ziya Öniş Stadyumu, the home crowd could add an extra edge to motivate Sarıyer to push for a result that consolidates their mid-table security.
Tactical expectations and goal potential
Statistically this looks like a match where Sarıyer will control the tempo. Their averages for shots and dangerous attacks outstrip Adana’s, and crucially Sarıyer have kept multiple clean sheets at home. Adana’s defensive record suggests they are vulnerable to sustained pressure, which could open the door to a decisive home victory. For bettors watching the goals market, the matchup is tricky: Adana’s matches have often been high-scoring, but Sarıyer’s home form includes several shutouts.

Betting suggestion: 1X2 market — back Sarıyer SK to win. The home side’s relative defensive stability, superior form, and the visitor’s catastrophic defensive record make a home victory the most likely outcome. Keep stake sizes sensible given football’s unpredictability, but on form and figures this is the cleanest value play.
