Match preview: Çorum’s confidence at Dr. Turhan Kılıçcıoğlu Stadyumu
Çorum Belediyespor welcome rock-bottom Adana Demirspor to Çorum on 16 January in a clash that shapes up to be a one-sided affair on paper. The hosts sit comfortably mid-table in 7th with 32 points from 20 games and have shown a reliable defensive edge at home, conceding only four goals on their own turf all season and collecting six clean sheets. Recent results have been mixed for Çorum — wins against Sakaryaspor and Pendikspor are balanced by losses to Amed SK and BB Erzurumspor — yet the team’s overall home resilience and a superior goal difference (28 scored, 21 conceded) give them tangible momentum ahead of this fixture.
Adana Demirspor arrive in turmoil. The statistics are stark: 20 games played, 0 wins, only 2 points and a staggering 88 goals conceded. Their latest result, a 0-5 reverse to Erokspor, capped a sequence of heavy defeats and underlines serious defensive frailties. Away performances have yielded just four goals all season while shipping 35 on the road, and the club’s clean sheet column reads zero. Formally, the visitors’ recent ten-match summary of L-L-L-L-L-D-L-L-L-L reads like a side in freefall — anemic attack combined with porous defending makes them an easy target for a home side determined to consolidate its top-half status.
Tactical outlook and key recent moments
The August meeting earlier this season saw Adana lose 0-3 at home to Çorum, a result that adds psychological weight to the visitors’ uphill task. Çorum’s defensive discipline at the Dr. Turhan Kılıçcıoğlu Stadyumu, reflected in low home goals conceded, contrasts dramatically with Adana’s leaky backline and absence of clean sheets. The last matches list names like Ibrahim Šehić and Murat Eser as standout performers in defeats, but those bright spots for the opposition are not enough to offset systemic problems.

Betting suggestion
Given the contrast in recent form, defensive records and the August head-to-head, the clearest value in this fixture is the home win in the 1X2 market. Çorum Belediyespor to win is the recommended bet: the hosts’ home solidity and Adana Demirspor’s ongoing collapse make a Çorum victory the most probable outcome.
