National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ankaragücü or Kocaelispor that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Ankaragücü form and stats
Ankaragücü was eliminated in the 4th round last season in the Turkish Cup.Ankaragücü have less points than they have played home games in the Super Lig so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Ankaragücü to get some points in this home game. Game days at Eryaman Stadyumu have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Ankaragücü as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
In their previous game, the manager F. Çapa led his Ankaragücü to a defeat in the Super Lig match away at Galatasaray. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Eryaman Stadyumu. Prior to that, an away loss at Rizespor in the Super Lig.
At Eryaman Stadyumu, Ankaragücü has the goal stats of 1-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.
Kocaelispor form and stats
