Ankaragucu hosts Konyaspor in round 18 of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Friday, January 17th at Eryaman Stadium (Ankara)
Last season, the club from Ankara did not get into the top ten, having stopped at thirteenth place. In the current tournament, it is muddling along at the bottom of the tournament list. The penultimate seventeenth place of Ankaragucu became possible due to the disgusting line of defense. Statistics of Yilmaz Özlem’s men eloquently report about this - 15/34. The attacking line simply doesn’t have time to fulfill its direct duties. The whole team has to defend, but, as they say, the off-profile game still does not give the desired result. After seventeen rounds, the club has lost nine meetings. As for the positive results, there are only two wins and six draws. If Ozlem doesn’t establish intra-team interaction in defense, Ankara will be one of the first contenders for relegation to the lower division. The last five rounds prove that the work is underway. Truth be told, everything is advancing with moans and groans. Two defeats were replaced by a streak of three draws. The team from Ankara evaded defeat thrice, making incredible efforts for this.

The Anatolian Eagles finished the last season in the eighth position. Aykut Kocaman is trying to bring the team to working condition, but it is not working out well now. Konyaspor takes only fifteenth place. One tournament point separates it from the relegation zone. If today's opponent stands out by the lack of a defense line, the Eagles do not catch mice in the complex. Poor scoring is also associated with reliability in the own box, but the attack is still very slurred. The statistics of Konyaspor are 15/24, and the last five rounds remained in deep red (three losses and two draws). It is worth noting that the club took away points from second Basaksehir (1:1) and the middle peasant Gaziantep (1:1), having managed to aggrieve rather good defensive lines of opponents.
Ankara has already revised its attitude to the problem and has relied on aggression. With a certain degree of probability, it can be argued that we should also expect aggressive football from Konyaspor. The club actively used friendly matches in the winter break, and the Anatolian Eagles managed to score and win. I believe that the exchange of goals is very likely, but I would not begin to look for a winner in the upcoming meeting. Bet: Both teams to score – yes.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
