Season ticket holders at Eryaman Stadyumu haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Ankaragücü languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Göztepe will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Ankaragücü have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Göztepe have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-10-19 (win-draw-loss) from 39 matches.

Ankaragücü form and stats

The story so far in the Super Lig for Ankaragücü at their home stadium (Eryaman Stadyumu) is 5 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

Happy days for Ankaragücü in their previous game, a Super Lig match away at Fatih Karagumruk (placed 8th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Galatasaray.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ankaragücü have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).
