Another week, another blockbuster set of fixtures from the Turkish Super Lig. It serves as one of the most intriguing top flights in all of football and as we look ahead to the second half of the campaign, there’s still a lot to get excited about at both ends of the table. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a thrilling encounter between Adana Demirspor and Ankaragucu.
Adana Demirspor Form GuideAdana Demirspor may have been around for decades but it finally feels like they’re starting to hit their stride at the elite level. Last season, they were able to finish in 4th place in the league, and we get the feeling that they fancy themselves to do something similar once again. They have blockbuster names on their squad such as Nani and Mario Balotelli, and you can see that they’re full of confidence.
Adana Demirspor can be conservative when called upon and on the road to Istanbul Basaksehir, that’s exactly what they were. They didn’t blow the roof off of the place and because of that, they came away with a 0-0 draw that could’ve easily been more.
Ankaragucu Form GuideAnkaragucu, originating from the namesake city, are a multi-sport club that operate in many different fields away from football. On the pitch, though, they’re currently seen as a midtable Super Lig side, which isn’t a bad place to be in. You obviously can’t afford to relax too much at this level but in equal measure, you have to praise their consistency in recent times.
It feels like Ankaragucu would’ve been feeling quietly confident that they could pick up a result against a team like Trabzonspor on their home turf. Unfortunately, despite dominating for long spells, they rarely hit the target as they fell to a 1-0 defeat.
Match PredictionOne thing we anticipate in this game is excitement. Both teams have the potential to do some serious damage in their own right and in a game of this magnitude, we do think they’ll put it all on the line. In our view, the most likely outcome for the game is over 2.5 goals scored.
