The league table in Super Lig tells a story about these teams so far, with Trabzonspor leading Ankaragücü by 33 points. Match preview to follow:
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Trabzonspor form and stats
Trabzonspor, who have the most scored goals (64) in Super Lig, are steadily winning Super Lig games and points here at Medical Park Stadyumu. 9 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats is the summary from 14 games. Trabzonspor haven’t lost a league-game in 13 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Denizlispor, 194 days ago.
An away draw last time out for Trabzonspor, facing Alanyaspor in a game that ended 2-2. In the game before, an away victory in the Turkish Cup match versus Fenerbahçe with a 3-1 scoreline.
The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Trabzonspor home games with this odds we find five games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in four wins, zero draws and one defeat. Looking at the victories, two matches were won by at least two goals.
Trabzonspor are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (37 goals in 14 games). On the other hand, Trabzonspor have conceded 16 goals.
Ankaragücü form and stats
There's been little loot from Ankaragücü's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 14 away games in the Super Lig. Ankaragücü only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 5 draws.
Ankaragücü failed to get anything from their last game, a Super Lig home match vs İstanbul Başakşehir (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-2. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Gazişehir Gaziantep that ended 1-1.
It's a bit worrying for Ankaragücü that their goalkeeper Ricardo Friedrich made eight saves in the İstanbul Başakşehir game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Ankaragücü played away with similar odds. This revealed seven games. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, zero were draws and the home team won as expected six times.
The attacking power of Ankaragücü when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 14 league matches away. As for defending, Ankaragücü rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 23 goals from these away matches.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Ankaragücü - Trabzonspor 0-3. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: seven - two - one (Trabzonspor wins - draws - Ankaragücü wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
