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

It's no vacation for neither İstanbul Başakşehir nor Ankaragücü 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.

Relegation threatens İstanbul Başakşehir who should definitely be looking for some points here. Ankaragücü are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

İstanbul Başakşehir form and stats

İstanbul Başakşehir have collected 19 points from their Super Lig home games so far after 4-7-7.

A strong away win for İstanbul Başakşehir against BB Erzurumspor the last match, as Fredrik Gulbrandsen and Nacer Chadli were on target. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Alanyaspor.

Things did not look good last match, when Alexandru Epureanu got a red card in the 18th minute. They were already behind at this time, but a tremendous finish from Başakşehir resulted in a win! The victory against BB Erzurumspor came after Fredrik Gulbrandsen's winning goal. The İstanbul Başakşehir manager A. Kocaman was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Başakşehir matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, three draws and zero defeats (from five games).

Başakşehir has scored 24 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. İstanbul Başakşehir have conceded 27 from these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Ankaragücü form and stats

Ankaragücü have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Super Lig, after 2-5-11 (18 played).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super Lig home defeat versus Gazişehir Gaziantep with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that match, the Ankaragücü manager H. Karaman faced defeat when travelling to Yeni Malatyaspor and losing 1-2.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Ankaragücü playing away, we found four games. Results were two away wins, two draws and zero home wins.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Ankaragücü have scored 18 goals in 18 league games away. Ankaragücü struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 35 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head
