Ankaragücü have less rest than Balıkesirspor in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Turkish Cup game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Eryaman Stadyumu. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Balıkesirspor have had more rest.
