Kocaelispor and Amedspor meet at the Yildiz Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu on Matchday 2 of the Süper Lig 2026/27 season. Kocaelispor are already under pressure after opening with a 0-2 defeat to Basaksehir, while Amedspor arrive off the back of a clean 3-0 win over Erzurumspor on their Süper Lig debut. The interesting wrinkle here is that Amedspor have historically struggled away at Kocaeli, losing 1-0 there in 2025, yet their overall form across the past month has been the stronger of the two sides by a considerable margin.
Dia Saba is the name to watch for Amedspor. The forward scored twice in their most recent match against Erzurumspor and carries real threat in behind. For Kocaelispor, midfielder Tayfur Bingöl is their most energetic presence in the center of the pitch, contributing both defensively and in transition, though he picked up a yellow card in the last outing and will need to be careful here.
Hot stat: Amedspor have kept a clean sheet in three of their last five matches and conceded just once across that run, making them one of the tighter defensive units heading into this fixture.

Kocaelispor vs Amedspor Prediction
Amedspor are the better side right now. Their last 30 days show a 75% win rate across four matches, compared to Kocaelispor’s 33% across three. The season-long picture is even more telling: Amedspor have won 52% of their 25 matches this year, Kocaelispor just 16% of theirs. Selçuk İnan’s side have scored zero goals in their last match and managed only eight shots, while Besnik Hasi’s team put up 13 shots and three goals against Erzurumspor.
We think Amedspor are undervalued at odds around 3.10-3.44 given their form, and an away win is the prediction here. Kocaelispor’s home advantage is real on paper, but their attacking output has been poor, and the bookmakers’ implied probability of 43% for the home side feels slightly generous given what the stats suggest.
Kocaelispor play a 3-4-2-1 shape which can leave them exposed on the flanks, and Amedspor’s 4-1-4-1 setup is built to exploit exactly that kind of space. Kocaelispor committed 14 fouls in their last match and earned two yellow cards, suggesting they struggle to contain opponents without resorting to physicality. Amedspor are the cleaner side with only 10 fouls and one yellow card, and their pass accuracy of 384 completed passes from 440 attempts shows they circulate the ball effectively. Kocaelispor’s passing was shakier, with 388 completed from 461 attempts, and their corner count of just two reflects a lack of sustained attacking pressure.
- Best Bet: Amedspor Win (Away) – Form, goal threat, and defensive solidity all point in their direction.
- Value Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – Kocaelispor have struggled to score, and Amedspor’s defense has been tight. A low-scoring match is plausible.
- BTTS: No – Given Kocaelispor’s blanks in recent outings, we doubt they find the net here.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | Amedspor to win to nil |
| ⚽Total Goals: | Under 2.5 |
| 💥Both Teams To Score: | No |
| 🎯Total Corners: | Under 9.5 |
Team Analysis
Kocaelispor have found the going tough this season. Their last five matches include a mix of draws and defeats, with only a 2-1 win over Genclerbirligi providing any real positive. Their Süper Lig opener ended in a 0-2 home loss to Basaksehir, a result that showed the gap between Kocaelispor and established top-flight sides. The team registered just eight shots and two corners in that match, and the attacking players, including Daniel Agyei and Rigoberto Rivas, failed to create anything meaningful. A 1-1 draw with ZED and another 1-1 against Istanbulspor AS before that shows a side capable of picking up points against lower-level opposition, but consistently falling short against stronger opponents.
Amedspor have been in excellent form heading into this fixture. Their 3-0 win over Erzurumspor was the perfect Süper Lig debut, with Dia Saba scoring twice and the team looking comfortable throughout. Before that, they beat Zakho 1-0 and Duhok 2-0 in what appears to have been a competitive preparation period. The 1-1 draw with Alanyaspor in late May was their only blip across a five-match run that produced four wins. Gift Orban provided an assist in the Erzurumspor match and is another dangerous option in their forward line alongside Saba. Their defensive structure, marshalled by David Bates who completed 69 of 69 passes in the last match, has been solid.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Kocaelispor the Favourite
- Moneyline Kocaelispor 2.15 | Amedspor 3.30
- Draw 3.30
- Over/Under Over 2.5 2.10 | Under 2.5 1.75
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 2.05 | No 1.75
The market makes Kocaelispor favourites based on home advantage, but honestly, the pricing on Amedspor at 3.10-3.44 looks loose given how well they have been playing. Kocaelispor’s season win rate of 16% makes it hard to justify backing them at 2.10-2.25 unless you are purely playing the home factor. The draw at 3.10-3.60 is a wide range and reflects genuine uncertainty, but we lean toward Amedspor finding a way to win rather than the match ending level.
Possible Starting Lineups
Kocaelispor Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: S. Öztaşdelen
- DF: Anfernee Dijksteel, Banhie Tanguy Zoukrou, Ugur Kaan Yildiz, Massadio Haïdara
- MF: Show, Tayfur Bingöl, Berkan Kutlu, Ege Bilim
- FW: Rigoberto Rivas, Daniel Agyei
Kocaelispor’s preferred 3-4-2-1 shape gives them defensive coverage, but the front line has lacked cutting edge. S. Öztaşdelen starts in goal after making three saves against Basaksehir. Anfernee Dijksteel and Banhie Tanguy Zoukrou anchor the back line with solid passing numbers. Tayfur Bingöl is the engine in midfield but is walking a yellow card tightrope. Rivas and Agyei lead the attack, though neither converted last time out.
Amedspor Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Alban Lafont
- DF: Lumbardh Dellova, David Bates, Mehmet Yesil, Cengiz Umut Meraş
- MF: Rayan Raveloson, Yira Sor, Cem Üstundag, Gökhan Gül
- FW: Dia Saba, Ermal Krasniqi
Amedspor line up in a 4-1-4-1 shape, with Alban Lafont, the experienced French goalkeeper, providing security at the back. Lumbardh Dellova was the assist provider against Erzurumspor and adds width from the left. David Bates was immaculate in possession. Dia Saba leads the line after his brace and is the most dangerous player on the pitch, while Ermal Krasniqi, who registered three shots in 90 minutes, provides energy and pressing from wide forward positions. Rayan Raveloson controls the tempo from midfield and will be key to dictating the match’s pace.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Kocaelispor come into this match with zero points from their opening Süper Lig fixture, a poor shot count, and a season win rate that makes grim reading. Amedspor, by contrast, have been consistent over the past month, kept clean sheets regularly, and showed genuine attacking quality in their debut. The head-to-head record also favors Amedspor, who won 3-0 in Kocaeli during the 2024/25 season.
We think Amedspor win this match without conceding. Their defensive structure is tighter, their attackers are in form, and Kocaelispor’s inability to create chances makes a clean sheet a realistic outcome. The best value play is Amedspor to win to nil, with Under 2.5 goals as the supporting bet for those who want a safer entry point.
