İstanbulspor have had a mixed run lately, winning three of their last five but also losing twice, including a heavy defeat. Mardin BB are in decent shape too with two wins from their last five, though they've lost three, all by narrow one-goal margins. Neither side has met recently, so there's no history to lean on for this one.

Overall the match looks very close. Both teams score about the same amount, and their recent form is similar. Given how evenly matched they are, this one has a strong chance of ending in a draw, with Mardin slightly better placed to at least avoid defeat.
