MKE Ankaragücü

WDLWWL

MKE Ankaragücü will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-0 Super Lig losing effort in their last game against Gaziantep.

Alexandru Maxim (69') and Cenk Şahin (96') scored for Gaziantep.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that MKE Ankaragücü have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Kupa beyi have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 6 goals along the way. Putting that to one side, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend will persist here in this match.

Coming into this fixture, MKE Ankaragücü haven't won against İstanbul Başakşehir in their previous 6 league matches.
