Metro Holding Kayserispor will face Orfa Yapı Pendikspor away in the 12th week of the Trendyol 1. Lig. The match kicks off at Pendik Stadium on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at 13:30, with Burak Pakkan appointed as referee. The team is on an unbeaten run of five matches, with four wins and a draw, and sits first in the league with 26 points from 11 games, having recorded eight wins, two draws, and one loss.
Head coach Atila Gerin oversaw the team's final preparatory session, working with players who did not feature in the 2-2 draw against Batman Petrolspor in week 11. In that draw, Florent Hasani scored twice, once from a penalty and once assisted by Daniel Moreno. The training lasted about ninety minutes and included passing and pressing drills followed by a small-sided match. The squad will complete their preparations with one more session today.
Kayserispor are unbeaten in their last five league matches and sit top of the table with 26 points from 11 games. Their lead over second-placed Bursaspor is a slender one point. The team has scored 24 goals this season, claiming one of the division's most potent attacks, with top scorer Taulant Seferi netting nine times in 11 appearances. The defence has also been solid, conceding only seven goals.
KEY MEN FROM RECENT OUTINGS
Florent Hasani stood out with a brace in last week's 2-2 draw.
