Although Kayseri finished the last season in the 17th place, they will be part of the top level as one of three jackpot winners. They made a terrible start to the last season and the fans had to wait till the 10th fixture to see the 1st victory. Despite the coach changes, they were unable to improve their performances and recorded only two victories in 21 fixtures. They started collecting points after coach Robert Prosinecki was appointed as the 4th coach of the season, but the squad quality was not good enough to take them far. They parted company with the Croatian coach and appointed Bayram Bektas. They were the highest conceding team of the league with 72 goals last season. So to improve the backline should be his 1st task, but they have not done anything so far. The new coach has already declared that they also need new arrivals for each and every department. Artem Kravets and Muris Mesanovic left and the board added Mugdat Celik. In the midfield, the fans saw the arrivals of Ackah and Avramovski who were regulars in their teams last season. They look very safe on the net as they managed to keep Lung in the team despite some offers. With backups like Eray and Ismail, they should have no problem in the long season. It is obvious that they will need time to adapt as their new players arrived late. Until then, it would be better for them to collect some points, because the league will kick off right after that.

Target


To be realistic, with their current squad they should think about avoiding relegation.
