Alanyaspor

LLLLWL

Alanyaspor will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 4-3 Super Lig defeat in their last game at the hands of Trabzonspor.

In that game, Alanyaspor had 51% possession and 8 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. For Alanyaspor, the goals were scored by Sergio Córdova (27'), Florent Hadergjonaj (45') and Andraž Šporar (52'). On the other side, Trabzonspor got 15 shots on goal with 10 on target. Oleksandr Zubkov (7'), Danylo Sikan (17', 38') and Simon Banza (45') scored for Trabzonspor.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Alanyaspor have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Alanyaspor have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 11 goals along the way.

Kayserispor

LWWWDW

Kayserispor head into the clash after a 1-0 Super Lig win vs Çaykur Rizespor in their previous outing.

In that match, Kayserispor managed 49% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 2 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Kayserispor was Mehdi Bourabia (43'). Caykur Rizespor had 15 shots at goal with 1 on target.

The trend of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring Kayserispor has been fairly consistent recently. Looking at their last 6 meetings shows that it’s happened 5 times. In these clashes, their opponents have hit a goal aggregate of 4 and Kayserispor have scored 12. We will see whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.

A look at their previous results shows us that Kayserispor:

• have not registered a win against Alanyaspor when they have played them away from home in the previous 6 league matches. Not the best of away records.
• are undefeated in their last 2 away league matches.

🤜🤛 Head to head

An examination of their most recent head-to-head meetings stretching back to 07/03/2022 shows us that Alanyaspor have won 4 of these and Kayserispor 2, with the number of draws being 0.

An aggregate of 15 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 10 for Alanyaspor and 5 coming from Anadolu Yıldızı. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.5.

The last league match featuring these clubs was Super Lig match day 15 on 08/12/2024 when it finished Kayserispor 2-0 Alanyaspor.

That time, Kayserispor had 39% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 6 on target. The goals were scored by Aylton Boa Morte (51') and Carlos Mané (66').

On the other side, Alanyaspor had 9 attempts on goal with 5 on target.

The referee was Ozan Ergun.

ℹ️ Team News: Alanyaspor

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Alanyaspor gaffer João Pereira to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Buluthan Bulut (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

It seems likely that Alanyaspor could use the 3-4-2-1 formation this time, utilising Ertugrul Taskiran, Fatih Aksoy, Nuno Lima, Jure Balkovec, Enes Keskin, Nicolas Janvier, Richard Coelho, Florent Hadergjonaj, Sergio Córdova, Tonny Vilhena and Andraz Sporar.

🗞️ Team News: Kayserispor

Kayserispor manager Sergej Jakirović has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Julian Jeanvier (unknown injury), Dimitrios Kolovetsios (Calf injury), Nurettin Korkmaz (unknown injury), Yaw Ackah (Muscle injury) and Stéphane Bahoken (Achilles tendon rupture) are those who can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that Anadolu Yıldızı seem most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, going with Bilal Bayazit, Ramazan Civelek, Majid Hosseini, Joseph Attamah, Lionel Carole, Ali Karimi, Gökhan Sazdagi, Kartal Yilmaz, Mehdi Bourabia, Miguel Cardoso and Talha Sariarslan.

🧠 Prediction

For this match, we think that Kayserispor are dangerous enough to break down this Alanyaspor team, but that might not quite be enough to avoid defeat.

We are anticipating a 2-1 winning margin for Alanyaspor after the 90. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
