Match begins: 15:30 (UTC)
Venue: Eryaman Stadyumu (22000 seats)

The visiting Galatasaray side should be favourites in this visit to Ankaragücü, as the away team holds a 26 point advantage from their 31 league games this season.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Relegation threatens Ankaragücü who should definitely be looking for some points here. Galatasaray are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Ankaragücü form and stats

With 3 Super Lig wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Ankaragücü, who have the most conceded goals (29) at home in Super Lig, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Ankaragücü are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Eryaman Stadyumu, having lost their two previous games here.

The home team returns to Eryaman Stadyumu after being equal after 90 minutes with Göztepe (placed 9th) on their last time out; the Super Lig game ended 2-2. Preceding that match was the home game against Alanyaspor that was lost 1-4.

Ankaragücü aren't scoring a lot here at Eryaman Stadyumu in the league, with only 14 goals from 15 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 29 goals have been conceded.

Galatasaray form and stats

5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Galatasaray, who have the most clean sheets (12) in Super Lig, playing as the away team in the Super Lig this season.

There might be some fixture complaints from Galatasaray as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Super Lig match against Alanyaspor (1-4). A loss against Trabzonspor was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Galatasaray have scored 21 goals in 15 league games away. 19 goals have been conceded by Galatasaray in these games.

Head 2 Head

The dueling parties have met before this season: Galatasaray - Ankaragücü 2-2. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Ankaragücü won three games, two matches ended with a draw and Galatasaray has five wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: nine / one
