Adana Demirspor were beaten 1-0 by Konyaspor last time out. They were able to create a few chances of their own thanks to some uncharacteristic defensive errors by their hosts, but were wasteful in front of goal. Balotelli's return to the lineup should remedy that against Karagumruk. At home, Adana Demirspor are favourites to get all three points. Karagumruk lost to Besiktas with the same scoreline last time out. They too had chances of their own, but were unable to beat Destanoglu. The problem with them was never going forward though and they are still struggling at the back. As a result of lack of squad planning, they are without a recognised right-back and have to use Dursun there, and the left-back Erkin, notwithstanding his attacking contributions, is a time bomb in defence. 2:1
