This match features two teams living in the basement of the Super Lig, Ankaragücü holding 20th place and Kasımpaşa lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Insights:
  • Ankaragücü have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Kasımpaşa have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.

It's no vacation for neither Ankaragücü nor Kasımpaşa as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Ankaragücü form and stats

Overall Super Lig stats at home this season for Ankaragücü are 3-1-5 (wins-draw-losses). Ankaragücü has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager F. Çapa and the players.
