The Turkish Super Lig is back with another round of action this week as we get ready for some fascinating fixtures. As we continue through the second half of the campaign, more and more clubs are getting a clearer picture of what their true objectives are in the months ahead. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be an intriguing clash between Ankaragucu and Galatasaray.
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.
Ankaragucu went on the road to battle Konyaspor and, to be blunt, they didn’t put their best foot forward. They struggled from beginning to end and ultimately, they weren’t able to keep up with their opponents, falling to a 1-0 defeat.
Galatasaray Form GuideGalatasaray are the real juggernauts of Turkish football and just about everyone would agree with that. They are the reigning kings of the castle and when you take a look at their squad, it isn’t hard to see why. This is a well-run organisation and while rivals Fenerbahce will push them all the way, you’d have to put them down as the favourites to get the job done once again.
Gala know how to stay consistent and they showed even more proof of that in their home encounter with Istanbul Basaksehir. They kept their opponents on their toes from beginning to end, and they managed to walk with a 2-0 win and an increased advantage over Fenerbahce.
Match PredictionAnkaragucu, especially at home, are more than capable of springing an upset or two - but this isn’t the game for it. The visitors are just better in every single department and in our view, it’s not a stretch to predict that Galatasaray will come away with a victory.
