Eskişehirspor and Balıkesirspor prepare for 19th matchup

Eskişehirspor and Balıkesirspor are set to face each other for the 19th time in the 4th week of the Nesine 3. Lig. The match is scheduled for Sunday, September 27, at the Prof. Dr. Fethi Heper Stadium. Due to a penalty received during the previous season's play-off stage, Eskişehirspor will be required to play this match without spectators.

Historically, the two clubs have met 18 times, with both sides having secured two wins each in the Süper Lig. In the 3. Lig, Eskişehirspor has one win, one draw, and two losses.

Separately, Balıkesirspor is working to return its home matches to Balıkesir. Due to pitch renovation work at the Balıkesir Atatürk Stadium, the club has been playing home games in Aliağa. Club President Mert Alper Acar and Balıkesir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ahmet Akın have inspected the Can Cangök training field to assess its suitability for official matches. The club aims to host its upcoming match against 1922 Akşehirspor at this facility once it meets Turkish Football Federation criteria.
