Mardin BB vs Van BB: match statistics

Mardin BB sit in 2nd place, remain unbeaten after three league matches, and have collected 11 points from their last five games, recording 3 wins and 2 draws. The hosts are particularly strong at home: they have won 100% of their matches there, average 2 goals scored, and have conceded none, while their average xG stands at a solid 2.08. Van BB are only 14th, have lost 4 of their last 5 matches, and conceded as many as 14 goals during that period. Away from home, the visitors concede an average of 4 goals per match, have recorded neither a win nor a clean sheet, while their attacking xG is only 1.22. Mardin BB’s clear superiority in defensive organisation, chance-creation quality, and current form should translate into a home win.

The BTTS - Yes pick is primarily supported by Van BB’s very weak defence, which has conceded an average of 2.8 goals over its last 5 matches, allowing 14 goals in total. The visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet throughout the season, while Mardin BB score an average of 1.5 goals per match, compared with 1.4 goals and an xG of 1.40 across their last five fixtures. Van BB should also have chances to respond, as the hosts concede an average of 2.0 goals per match over the entire season and likewise have not kept a single clean sheet. The signal is not conclusive, since Mardin BB conceded just 1 goal in their last five appearances and their BTTS rate during this period was only 20%; however, Van BB’s 80% BTTS rate and the visitors’ xG of 1.45 support an away goal. Overall, the scenario in which both sides score is more likely, although the edge over BTTS - No remains moderate.

The strongest signal is Over 1.5 goals, as both teams have cleared this line in 100% of their matches so far this season. Van BB concede as many as 4.0 goals per match on average and have allowed 14 goals in their last five appearances, significantly increasing the scoring potential of Mardin BB, who have averaged 1.4 goals during this period. The hosts create chances worth 1.40 xG, while the visitors have 1.46 xG, so Van BB should also have a solid basis for scoring. Caution with higher lines is warranted due to Mardin BB’s excellent recent defensive form, having conceded just 1 goal in their last five matches; therefore, the projected total of 2.70 goals provides the strongest support for Over 1.5.

Mardin BB are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning 60% of them and averaging 2.2 points per game, while Van BB have lost 80% of their recent fixtures. The hosts were leading at the break in three of their last five matches, conceding no goals in those first halves, whereas Van BB have not led at half-time on any occasion and conceded an average of 1.4 goals before the interval. Mardin’s superiority is also evident after the final whistle: they have conceded just 0.2 goals per match recently, while Van BB have allowed opponents an average of 2.8 goals. Over the season, the visitors have conceded as many as 4.0 goals per game with a 0% win rate, making a Mardin lead at half-time followed by a full-time victory the most likely scenario.
