Lig brings an intriguing contrast at Çorum Şehir Stadyumu: a Çorum FK side unbeaten at home meets a Pendikspor team riding a double-digit unbeaten run and the league’s stingiest recent defense. With cool, manageable conditions expected, this matchup should be decided by form, structure and game-state management rather than weather or injury chaos.</p> <h3>Recent Momentum and the Numbers Behind It</h3> <p>Pendikspor arrive with the stronger tailwind. They have taken 18 points from their last eight league fixtures and have not conceded in five straight league games. Over that period they’ve allowed just 0.13 goals per game, a dramatic tightening of an already excellent defensive baseline. Their overall season profile reads 2.13 PPG with only one defeat in 15 and a 60% clean-sheet rate, comfortably above league norms.</p> <p>Çorum’s trajectory is more uneven. Over the last eight their points per game has dipped by 17.4%, while goals against rose by a quarter. The 4–0 at Bodrum and 1–0 at Bandırma illustrate the volatility away from home. Yet in front of their own supporters, Çorum have been far sturdier: 2.14 points per game, no losses (4-3-0), and just four goals conceded across seven home dates.</p> <h3>Tactical Matchup: Caution Early, Pendik Punch Late</h3> <p>Expect a measured opening. Çorum’s home first halves skew controlled (GF/GA 6–1), and Pendik’s away first halves are conservative by design, with plenty of HT stalemates. Both teams draw a high proportion of first halves — Çorum at home (57%), Pendik away (62%). The second half is where Pendik tend to transform games: 72% of their season goals arrive after the break, with a particular knack for late strikes (10 goals in the 76–90 segment). Çorum, meanwhile, concede proportionally more in the second half at home. That blueprint points to a tight first period followed by a more open final half hour.</p> <h3>Key Men and Micro-battles</h3> <p>Pendik possess multiple match-changers. Jonson Clarke-Harris (7 goals, four from the spot) provides penalty-box punch, while Mallik Wilks (6 goals, 5 assists) carries the transition threat that fits their second-half emphasis. Behind them, Vinko Soldo and 20-year-old rising defender Yiğit Fidan (7.39 rating) headline a unit that manages the penalty area magnificently and defends leads better than anyone in the division (90% lead-defending rate).</p> <p>For Çorum, creativity runs through Yusuf Erdoğan (3g, 6a) and Oğuz Gürbulak (4g), with Braian Samudio a persistent outlet. The hosts are capable of fast starts — their average first goal comes earlier than league norms — but sustaining pressure against Pendik’s compact mid-block and full-back discipline (notably Kitsiou and Sequeira) will be the real test.</p> <h3>Angles from the Odds Board</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Under 2.5 Goals</strong> is well priced given Çorum’s home total of 2.14 goals per game and Pendik’s away total of 2.00. Importantly, Pendik’s away over 2.5 hits just 25% of the time.</li> <li><strong>Full-Time Draw</strong> has strong statistical backing: Pendik have drawn 5 of 8 away (62.5%), while Çorum have split 3 of 7 at home. Two teams that rarely lose in these splits often cancel each other out.</li> <li><strong>Half-Time Draw</strong> reflects the slow-burn script: both sides are among the league’s leaders for HT stalemates in their respective venue splits.</li> <li><strong>2nd Half to be Higher Scoring</strong> leans into Pendik’s identity — 72% of their goals arrive after the interval, with a flurry in the final quarter-hour.</li> </ul> <h3>Predicted Pattern and Scoreline</h3> <p>With both teams excelling in their preferred game states (Çorum sturdy at home, Pendik suffocating without the ball and ruthless late), expect a finely balanced 90 minutes. The scoreboard most plausibly reflects control rather than chaos. A 1–1 draw sits on the intersection of the strongest angles: Under lean, draw bias, and a Pendik goal arriving after the break.</p> <h3>Verdict</h3> <p>Edge the betting card toward low totals and stalemate outcomes. The data-supported selections are Under 2.5, FT Draw, HT Draw, and 2nd Half higher scoring. If you’re hunting for a price, 1–1 correct score mirrors the matchup dynamics and market mispricing on the draw-heavy patterns.</p> </body> </html>
