Alanyaspor v Ankaragucu

Alanyaspor vs Ankaragucu Preview

Tuesday afternoon brings us this mid-table clash in the Turkish top flight between Alanyaspor and Ankaragucu when the two sides meet at the Kirbiyik Holding Stadyumu with Alanyaspor occupying 11th place while Ankaragucu occupy 12th place ahead of these midweek fixtures in the Turkish Super Lig.

After producing a poor start to this Turkish top flight campaign with the hosts picking up just two wins from their opening 13 games overall in the Super Lig which were victories over Istanbul Basaksehir and Fatih Karagumruk whilst also slipping to seven defeats in the process, Alanyaspor have since managed to stage a recovery in recent weeks.

A subsequent five-game unbeaten run in the Super Lig has seen Alanyaspor collect important wins against Istanbulspor, Besiktas and Samsunspor while also picking up points in draws with the likes of Konyaspor and Antalyaspor, thus giving the hosts a decent chance of achieving a result here on Tuesday afternoon.

Form and results on home soil at their Kirbiyik Holding Stadyumu though have hung in the balance as Alanyaspor have won three, drawn three and lost three of their last nine home games.

Ankaragucu head into Tuesday afternoon's encounter against Alanyaspor without a win in their past five games as the visitors have drawn four and lost once during this period with league wins being hard to come by for Emre Belozoglu's side throughout this season's Super Lig campaign as they have collected just four wins from their 18 league matches to date.

Points picked up in draws with Besiktas, Rizespor, Hatayspor and Pendikspor have been offset by the recent 1-0 defeat at home to Trabzonspor and this sequence of results do not appear to bode well for the visitors for this upcoming clash.

The bigger picture shows Ankaragucu have managed to capture just four wins from their last 19 matches overall in the Turkish top flight while results away from home have also been disappointing in recent times with the visitors claiming just two victories from their previous eight outings on the road.

Victories on the road at Sivasspor and Gaziantep have been outweighed by three defeats within this period which have seen Ankaragucu handed losses on the road at Kasimpasa, Galatasaray and Istanbulspor respectively, while five of their eight away games so far this season have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Alanyaspor v Ankaragucu Verdict

Both Alanyaspor and Ankaragucu have produced inconsistent results throughout this season's Super Lig campaign but recent momentum appears to favour the hosts heading into this clash on Tuesday afternoon as Alanyaspor have picked up three wins in their last five games overall.

In addition, Alanyaspor are unbeaten in their last four meetings at home against Ankaragucu, winning three out of these four encounters so the hosts look in good shape here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Alanyaspor win @ 2.25

Other side bets worth considering:

Alanyaspor win & Over 2.5 goals @ 3.40

Correct Score: Alanyaspor 2-1 @ 9.00
