Both teams are currently competing in the Turkish First League. Erzurumspor has been playing there since 2021 and finished last season with 44 points (after a three-point deduction), securing a spot in the top 10. İstanbulspor, on the other hand, spent two years in the Super League but were relegated in the spring of 2024, finishing last in the league.
The Istanbul club has struggled to regain form since their drop from the top division. Their wins and losses are balanced, with no more victories than defeats, including in 2025. However, they did secure a 2-0 win over Fatih Karagümrük in their latest match. Erzurumspor's situation looks more promising as they are actively fighting for promotion to the Super League. However, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Iğdır in their most recent match.
In the cup, under the guidance of coach Korkmaz, Erzurumspor began the group stage with a heavy 0-4 defeat to Gaziantep but bounced back with a 2-0 home victory over Kasımpaşa. İstanbulspor, managed by Hakan Kutlu, won their qualification matches but suffered two "clean sheet" defeats in the group stage: 0-1 at home to Göztepe and a heavy 0-5 loss in Istanbul to Fenerbahçe.
