📏 Form Guide

MKE Ankaragücü

WDDLLL 📉

MKE Ankaragücü will be looking for an improved result here following the 2-1 Super Lig losing effort in their last game against İstanbul Başakşehir.

In that game, MKE Ankaragücü had 30% possession and 8 shots on goal with 3 on target. The only player to score for MKE Ankaragücü was Joseph Paintsil (15'). İstanbul Başakşehir got 8 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Danijel Aleksić (63') and Junior Fernándes (88') scored for İstanbul Başakşehir.

It has not been often in recent games where MKE Ankaragücü have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Kupa beyi have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, letting in 9 goals on the way. That kind of pattern might not be continued into this game, of course.

Heading into this contest, MKE Ankaragücü are without a home win in the past 2 league games.

Fenerbahçe

🔮 Prediction

We’re thinking that MKE Ankaragücü will have to play well to hit the back of the net against this Fenerbahçe side who we reckon should score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 0-1 winning margin for Fenerbahçe at the conclusion of the game.

Should be an interesting one.
