Match background and what to expect in Diyarbakır
Amed SK welcome Iğdır FK to Diyarbakır Atatürk Stadyumu on 28/12/2025 in what promises to be an intriguing clash in the 1. Lig. The home side arrive in fine form, sitting second in the table with 36 points from 18 matches, while Iğdır sit seventh on 30 points. The pitch will see Burak Demirkıran take charge and a crowd of up to 33,000 could make this a lively winter afternoon in Yenişehir. Amed have been potent at home this season — 20 goals scored at the stadium and a high over-2.5 games percentage — whereas Iğdır bring a resilient away record that features a run of draws and a compact defence that has conceded slightly more on the road.
Form, trends and tactical hints
Amed SK’s recent sequence reads like a team on the front foot: six wins in their last ten with an attacking output that has produced 39 goals in 18 rounds. Their home numbers point to an aggressive, forward-thinking approach; averages for total shots and dangerous attacks underline a side that presses and looks to create chances inside the box. Iğdır arrive after a mixed but sturdy patch — only a single loss in the latest ten and several draws in a compact formation that can frustrate visitors. Their away scoring is lower than Amed’s home tally, but Iğdır have shown the ability to find the net in recent fixtures, including a Turkish Cup draw where Özder Özcan played a notable part.
Their last meeting ended 0-0 earlier in the season, which hints at cautious tactics when these teams meet. Yet underlying data nudges us toward expecting more ambition from Amed at home; the hosts have a strong propensity for high-scoring affairs at Diyarbakır, while Iğdır’s matches still see goals at a decent rate overall.
Betting angles and the smart play
Bookmakers make Amed the favourite at roughly 1.91, with the draw and away options priced wider. Looking at match profile and recent trends, the most convincing market here is the goal market. Amed’s home fixtures have gone over 2.5 goals at a very high clip this season and Iğdır’s matches are no strangers to goals either, despite their tendency toward draws. This clash pairs an attacking home team that creates volume in the box with an away side that can respond on the break — a recipe that often produces three or more goals.
Suggested bet: Back Over 2.5 Goals. This selection aligns with Amed's high over-2.5 percentage at home and the tendency for both teams to be involved in open encounters.
