Kasimpasa – Antalyaspor SOCCER PICKS
Kasımpaşa and Antalyaspor meet in Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu, in a match for the 11th round of the Süper Lig. In this situation, the history of direct confrontations indicates total balance between these two teams, since there were 2 victories for each team in the last 4 matches. However, the last time these two teams played a match at this stadium was on 03-16-2018, for the Süper Lig, which ended with the victory of Antalyaspor by (2-3). The goals of the match were scored by M. Diagne (66 ‘and 70’), for Kasımpaşa, and D. Kadah (42 ‘), S. Doukara (53’) and H. Alpsoy (82 ‘), for Antalyaspor. In this match the home factor may be decisive, since the Antalyaspor presents considerable differences in their results at home and as a visitor.
Kasımpaşa:
The home team is currently in the 2 nd position, with 19 points won, after 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Akhisar Belediye, by (5-0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against BB Erzurumspor, by (1-1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 27 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 30 goals scored and 18 conceded. In the last 5 home league matches Kasımpaşa has a record of 4 wins and 1 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 15 possible. The team has conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, so it has not presented great defensive solidity, but its attack has scored regularly, as it has always scored at least one goal in the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 17 of the last 24 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 10 matches in the competition, they suffered the first goal 4 times and only managed 1 comeback.
The Kasimpasa comes to this day after a draw, by 1-1, in the field trip of BB Erzurumspor: the only goal of the team was marked by Diagne. It should be noted that the locals no longer lose three straight games in the Turkish championship. The club of the house presents some difficulties in the aerial soccer, attending to the low average of stature of its players. We believe that coach Mustafa Denizli will act in a 4-3-3, in which the three most advanced pieces are Trezeguet, Eduok and Diagne. For this game the local coach will not be able to count on Khalili, Cek and Josue, all with physical problems.
Antalyaspor:
The away team is currently in the 5 th position of the league, with 17 points won, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Alanyaspor, by (0-1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Trabzonspor, by (1-1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 21 conceded. In the last match they played for the Cup, they beat Yomraspor at home by (3-0) in the shoot-out on penalties. In the last 5 away league matches Antalyaspor has a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 15 possible. They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 10 matches in this competition, they suffered the first goal 5 times, but got the comeback by 2.
The Antalyaspor arrives at this day motivated, after a triumph, in the penalties, against Yomraspor, in a game for the Turkish Cup. In the last match for the championship, the visitors drew 1-1 against Trabzonspor. The visiting team usually acts in a tactical system in 4-3-3, privileging fast transitions, mainly through the wings. One of the strengths of Antalyaspor is the way he manages to take advantage of set pieces. The technician Bülent Korkmaz can not count on Celustka, due to an injury.
