Galatasaray battle against Ankaragücü for glory and sporting success.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Galatasaray form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Galatasaray have to build on here at Türk Telekom Stadyumu in the Super Lig.
Galatasaray enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at BB Erzurumspor's place. The match ended 2-1 with Radamel Falcao and Emre Kılınç scoring. Preceding that match was the home game against Alanyaspor that was lost 1-2.
The Galatasaray fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. On the other hand, Galatasaray have conceded 3 goals.
Ankaragücü form and stats
The Super Lig season is young and Ankaragücü have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.
There might be some fixture complaints from Ankaragücü as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Super Lig match against Rizespor (3-5). Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Sivasspor that ended 0-0.
A huge disappointment for Ankaragücü in their last match (vs Rizespor). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-5 defeat. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Ankaragücü, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
A new game in only two days for Ankaragücü, the Turkish Cup home match versus Kocaelispor. Busy days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Ankaragücü has managed 3 goals and let in 5 from 2 matches.
