Kayserispor will host Eyupspor at the Kadir Has Stadium on Sunday, May 3, 2026. Positioned in the Turkish Super Lig's relegation zone, the Yellow-Reds face a vital encounter as the season approaches its decisive final weeks. Both teams are locked in a tense battle to avoid the drop.

The Anatolian Star currently sits 17th in the table with 26 points from 31 matches, leaving them two points from safety. Kayserispor has scored just 23 goals all season, the lowest tally in the division, while also conceding heavily with 57 goals, the most in the league.

However, Kayserispor gave themselves a lifeline with a 2-0 home victory over Caykur Rizespor last time out. This win ended a three-match streak in which they conceded nine goals and failed to find the net. To avoid relegation, they must begin to string together wins immediately.

The Kayseri side has two home matches and one away fixture left to play, and they must make their home advantage count in this crucial period. All three previous top-flight meetings with Eyupspor have ended in a draw, including a 1-1 stalemate earlier in the current campaign.

Eyupspor, meanwhile, is only slightly better placed, sitting 16th with 28 points—just above the relegation zone on goal difference. This is a stark contrast to their impressive debut season in the top flight last year, as they now face a tough fight for survival.

Nevertheless, Eyupspor has shown signs of improvement at a crucial stage of the campaign, arriving on the back of consecutive league victories. These include a 3-0 win over Gaziantep and a 2-1 success against Fatih Karagumruk, results that have significantly boosted their survival hopes and morale ahead of this pivotal match.
