Struggling Eyüpspor host eighth-placed Kocaelispor in Istanbul
Ten games into the campaign, Eyüpspor look to halt a five-match losing run as they welcome an eighth-placed Kocaelispor side targeting a lift before the international break.
Eyüpspor have experienced a slow start to the Süper Lig campaign, sitting 18th on three points after ten games. Momentum has deserted them following five consecutive defeats, culminating in a 5-1 loss away at Amed after previous setbacks against Kasımpaşa, Erzurumspor FK, Göztepe, and Fenerbahçe. Back at Esenyurt Necmi Kadıoğlu Stadium, they desperately need a positive result to shift direction.
Kocaelispor, managed by Selçuk İnan, have made a steady start, occupying eighth position with 16 points from their opening ten fixtures. The visitors were held to a 0-0 draw at home against Rizespor in their last outing, having previously claimed a 2-1 away win at Alanyaspor. İnan's side are aiming to secure all three points in Istanbul before the league pauses for the international break.
