The often unpredictable Turkish Super Lig is back once again this week as we enter the month of February. There’s still a lot left to be determined at both ends of the table, and that much is an understatement with the league being as chaotic as ever. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be another exciting clash as Fatih Karagumruk go head to head with Pendikspor.
Fatih Karagumruk Form GuideFor the last few years, Fatih Karagumruk have spent their time back at the top table in the Super Lig. Last season, they were able to finish in 7th, which they were hoping would give them a great platform to build off of - but that hasn’t quite been the case. Now, they’re attempting to fend off the threat of relegation, and there’s no guarantee whatsoever that they’ll achieve that goal.
Despite having 17 shots on goal and 62% possession, Fatih Karagumruk couldn’t get things going in front of goal against Hatayspor as they fell to a 3-1 defeat.
Pendikspor Form GuideWhen you think of the term minnows, you may want to think about Pendikspor. This is a club that has done phenomenally well to force their way into the big time, which they achieved by gaining promotion via the playoffs last season. They’ve struggled since then and they face an uphill battle if they want to survive, but given what they’ve already accomplished, anything is possible.
Despite going down to ten men against Adana Demirspor, Pendikspor were able to hold on and secure a big 2-1 win last weekend.
Match PredictionWhen you’ve got two teams preparing for a relegation six-pointer like this, all forms of logic go flying out of the window. We really believe this is going to be a thrilling and desperate affair, and with that in mind, we’re going to predict over 2.5 goals will be scored.
