Probable alignment: T. Acar, David Braz, Douglas Pereira, M. Bjärsmyr, U. Çiftçi, H. Arslan, Robinho, E. Kılınç, S. Rybalka, D. N’Dinga, A. Koné.

Ankaragücü:

The away team is currently in the 10 th position of the league, with 20 points won, after 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Rizespor, by (1-1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against İstanbul, by (0-1). This is a team that shows similar results at home and abroad, so it is not usually affected by the home factor, as in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium.

Ankaragücü enter this unmotivated match, after having added another day without winning the Turkish championship, the fourth straight, losing at home to Basaksehir by 0-1. Unlike the rival of this day, the visiting team opts to act in a 4-4-2, in which the two most advanced players are Parlak and Mustapha El Kabir. By acting outside the home, we believe that Ankaragücü will adopt a more defensive stance, with the objective of not becoming unbalanced. Striker Mustapha El Kabir is the great striker of the outfield team, with 6 goals scored. The technician Ismail Kartal will not be able to use the injured Johannes Hopf.

Probable alignment: A. Bayındır, Tiago Pinto, Y. Ayhan, B. Dja Djédjé, Bakary Koné, R. Faty, T. Moulin, M. El Kabir, İ. Parlak, Y. Mokhtar, A. Cerci.
