An important duel in the bottom section of the Super Lig, with both Kasımpaşa and Ankaragücü experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 18th place.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kasımpaşa and Ankaragücü.
Kasımpaşa are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Ankaragücü are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Kasımpaşa form and stats
8 victories, 4 draws and 7 defeats. That’s what Kasımpaşa have to build on here at Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu in the Super Lig.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Mahmut Ertugrul Taskiran not having conceded a league goal in 225 minutes.
A good away victory last time out for Kasımpaşa, who won 1-0 against BB Erzurumspor (placed 19th). Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Alanyaspor.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kasımpaşa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost five.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kasımpaşa as they are travelling to their away game against Sivasspor in the Super Lig. That match is four days after this one.
Kasımpaşa has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 19 matches. Kasımpaşa's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 24 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 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 2-5-12 (19 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Ankaragücü who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Denizlispor was the last time a defeat was avoided. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Ankaragücü are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Ankaragücü's previous game was their home loss versus Fenerbahçe (1-2). A 1-2 defeat away at İstanbul Başakşehir before that.
Ankaragücü goalkeeper Ricardo Friedrich had a great day against Fenerbahçe, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided. Ankaragücü were so close to getting something from the game against Fenerbahçe, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.
Ankaragücü are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and six defeats. From a total of ten matches.
A new game in only four days for Ankaragücü, the Super Lig home match versus Alanyaspor. Busy days.
The visiting Ankaragücü have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 19 goals from 19 games. Ankaragücü have conceded 37 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
