Hatayspor host Karaköprü Belediyespor in the Turkey Cup. Hatayspor's season has been a difficult one across their recent matches, while Karaköprü Belediyespor have looked a good deal steadier over the same period.
Hatayspor currently play two divisions above their visitors, yet their recent form doesn't read like a team who should feel comfortable defending home advantage. That gap between league status and current form is really the story here before we look closer.

Form telling two different stories
Hatayspor's numbers make for grim reading: two wins from their last twenty matches, sixteen defeats, and forty-eight goals conceded against just fifteen scored. That run has taken them from Turkey's 1. Lig down into the 2. Lig, and their last three matches have brought only a single point, including a home defeat to Güzide Gebzespor.
Hatayspor: 20 completed matches; Karaköprü Belediyespor: 20 completed matches.

Karaköprü Belediyespor, playing in 3. Lig, have a healthier record over the same stretch: nine wins, four draws and seven losses from twenty games. More strikingly, they've won each of their last three outings, scoring freely as they've done it.
Karaköprü arrive with real momentum despite sitting two tiers below their hosts.
Comparative Team Statistics: Hatayspor vs Karaköprü Belediyespor
A tie that cuts against the usual form book
Normally the higher division side would be the assumed side to back, but Hatayspor's home form doesn't support that assumption. Their most recent home league match ended in a 0-2 defeat, and across their sample they've lost far more often than they've won, even at home.
Karaköprü Belediyespor won't be fazed by the step up. Cup football against higher-division opposition can go either way, and a side on a three-match winning run brings a different mentality to a struggling home team than the tables alone would suggest.

With no market to weigh up and the two teams pulling in opposite directions - one clearly ranked higher but out of form, the other in a run of wins well below Hatayspor's level - there's no confident angle to back here.
This looks like a genuinely open cup tie rather than a clear-cut favourite, so we're stepping aside rather than forcing a view.
Who will win?
