Kasımpaşa vs Amed: Unbeaten Hosts Face Newly Promoted Amed
Kasımpaşa welcome newly promoted Amed to Istanbul on Sunday, 6 September for a Süper Lig Matchday 4 clash, with the hosts looking to protect an unbeaten start to the season.
Team News and Injury Latest
Kasımpaşa are without defender Kamil Ahmet Corekci, who remains sidelined. The backline that kept a clean sheet in the 1‑0 win at Çorum – where Dawid Benedyczak scored the only goal in the sixth minute – is likely to stay intact. Manager Sami Uğurlu has no other reported absentees.
Amed travel with a full squad. Head coach Besnik Hasi has no injury or suspension concerns, giving him the option to field the 3‑4‑2‑1 shape that delivered a 3‑0 home victory over Erzurumspor on the opening weekend. That system saw Dia Saba, Gift Orban and Mbaye Diagne operating in close proximity, and the same attacking trident is expected to start again.
Kasımpaşa Form Guide
The Istanbul side have collected four points from their first two matches, placing them seventh in the early standings. An opening‑day 1‑1 draw with Trabzonspor – in which they conceded a goal to Noah Saviolo – was followed by a 1‑0 away success at Çorum. Benedyczak’s early strike proved decisive, and Kasımpaşa then focused on game management to protect the lead. Across 180 minutes of league football, they have conceded only once, suggesting a defensive structure that is difficult to break down.
Amed Form Guide
Amed’s first taste of Süper Lig football began with a bang when they beat Erzurumspor 3‑0 at home, but they were brought back to earth in their second outing, losing 2‑0 at Kocaelispor. The newly promoted side have shown they can be potent in attack – Saba, Orban and Diagne combined effectively in the opener – yet they struggled to create clear chances on the road. The trip to Kasımpaşa will test whether Hasi’s men can replicate their opening‑day fluency away from home.
Key Battle: Kasımpaşa’s Defence vs Amed’s Attacking Trio
Kasımpaşa’s compact backline has given up only one goal so far, while Amed’s front three of Saba, Orban and Diagne carry the visitors’ main threat. Orban, who is expected to lead the line, will look to exploit any space behind the hosts’ defence, but the movement of Saba in the pocket could be just as important. How Kasımpaşa’s midfield screens the centre‑backs will go a long way to deciding whether the home side can maintain their unbeaten start.
Amed will be eager to avoid a second straight away defeat, while Kasımpaşa can climb further up the table before the international break pauses the domestic calendar.
