Neutral30%
The percentage of matches with 3 or more goals (Over 2.5) is 60%, indicating frequent open attacking play, but the percentage of both teams scoring (BTTS) is only 40%, reflecting the balance between attack and defense.
The 4-1-4-1 formation has been applied stably in 6 out of 10 recent matches, helping to control the game but lacking flexibility in the attacking setup, especially when key players like Leandro Trossard are absent.
Although the defensive performance is low (9 goals conceded in 10 matches), it is not too serious, with 2 clean sheets and only 20 yellow cards in 10 matches, indicating relatively good disciplinary play.
Negative20%
The instability in some matches, particularly in terms of discipline and the ability to control the game, such as the 3-2 defeat against Amedspor (5 yellow cards) or the 1-0 defeat against Alanyaspor (clear missed opportunity)
The reserve player group has limitations in quality and playing time, especially in the forward position due to Leandro Trossard's absence (3 missed matches), causing the attack to rely too heavily on Dušan Vlahović (5 goals) and Oh Hyeon-gyu (3 shots on target).
Defensive performance has not been truly stable, with a "Keeping a clean sheet" rate of only 33.33% and a "Losing without scoring" (LTN) rate of 16.67%, indicating weak control of the game when facing strong defensive teams.
KocaelisporPositive40%

Kocaelispor is currently ranked 4th in the Turkish Super League 2026-2027 with 12 points from 6 matches, qualifying for the UEFA Europa Conference League play-offs, reflecting the team's competitive spirit and ability to compete for a European Cup spot.
The central stable personnel framework, with players such as Serhat Öztaşdelen (goalkeeper), Berkan Kutlu (midfielder), Anfernee Dijksteel, and Massadio Haïdara (defenders), plays a key role, providing stability in the playing style.
Neutral30%
Kocaelispor has an average goal-scoring rate of 1.1 goals per game and concedes 0.8 goals per game, indicating a balance between attack and defense, but needs to improve their goalkeeping to increase the goal difference.
Kocaelispor flexibly changes their tactical formation between 4-3-3 and 4-1-4-1 depending on the opponent, however this change has not created stability in the playing style, leading to inconsistency in how the team operates.
In the current season, Kocaelispor has secured 4 wins and 2 losses in 6 matches, with a stable performance but not enough to move up to the top group, indicating the gap that still exists between strong teams.
Negative30%
Kocaelispor has shown defensive instability with 8 goals conceded in their last 10 matches, including two heavy defeats (0-1 against Galatasaray and 0-2 against Istanbul Basak) in the second half, indicating a lack of focus during crucial periods.
The absence of key players such as Aleksandar Jovanović (goalkeeper) and Bruno Petković (forward) has had a severe impact on the team's defensive and attacking capabilities, causing Kocaelispor to become overly reliant on a few individuals.
Kocaelispor received a total of 14 yellow cards in their last 10 matches, with 2 matches having 6 yellow cards each, indicating poor disciplinary record and inadequate situational control on the field, particularly when facing stronger teams.
