Alanyaspor
- Alanyaspor are level on 12 points with Kocaelispor in the Super Lig 2026/2027 after as many matches and Joao Pereira's side also have an unbeaten home record with one win and two draws.
- Alanyaspor have won 2, drawn 2 and lost just 1 of their last 5 matches.
Kocaelispor
- Kocaelispor have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 fixtures.
- Kocaelispor may have more bite about them under Selcuk Inan, who took over the reigns on 1 July 2025 and appears to have them set up to be a compact, counter-attacking team that can hurt sides on the break.
Head-to-Head
- Alanyaspor have won two of the last three head-to-head matches between the two clubs.
- Pereira's high-tempo 3-at-the-back system, which he has employed since taking over on 22 March 2025, is best suited to sides that press hard and attack wide, but Kocaelispor are very capable of closing off the flanks.
Key Players
- Yeşil Siyahlılar are not a team to score many goals, but Berkan Kutlu's brace in 6 Super Lig 2026/2027 games makes him the team's sharpest edge in the final third, so there is hope there that they can get on the scoresheet.
- Arda Usluoglu is Alanyaspor's most reliable goal threat with 2 in 5 Super Lig 2026/2027 appearances and he has been involved in their 5 goals.
Betting Insights
- Alanyaspor are slightly favored by the bookmakers ahead of Friday's Super Lig 2026-2027 clash against Kocaelispor at GAIN Park Stadyumu, Turkiye, but it would be a surprise if they were to let their heads get turned by their favorable 2.07 quote.
- However, we feel the draw is too short at 3.29, so are recommending under 3.5 goals as a good alternative to the moneyline market.
