Adana Demirspor take on the visitors Istanbulspor in the round 17 match of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Thursday, January 5th at Yeni Adana Stadyumu (Adana).
Adana Demirspor will try to compete for high places. The Blue Lightning returned to the elite division in 2021 for the first time in a quarter of a century. Obviously, the owners expect a lot from the project. It is not for nothing that Vincenzo Montella was lured to the coaching post, and eminent players are constantly signed. There is Belkhanda, Onyekuru, Stambuli, and the list goes on and on. The club kept among the leaders of this draw. But in December there was a defeat in the cup and, in the previous league round, 0-1 away from Besiktas.

Istanbulspor are unlikely to stay in the country's top division. The "Yellow bulls" also represent Istanbul. But, of course, they are far on the sidelines, in comparison with their neighbors, and not only with the usual trio of giants, but also Istanbul, which recently reached the championship. However, in the 90s of the last century there were even performances in European competitions. But for 17 years in a row the team played in the First League, returning only in the last season, and then through the playoffs. The newcomer is expected to go to the very bottom of the table. Yes, in the last round it was possible to beat Kasimpasa 2-1, but even after that, with a modest 11 points, the club is in 18th, penultimate place.
Adana Demirspor won 3 out of 4 last fights with Istanbulspor. But that was in the First League, in 2019-2021. Adana Demirspor are clearly stronger and should be rehabilitated for the failure in the last round. They should win at home with a "-1 goals scored" handicap against Istanbulspor, which is worth relegation.
Prediction for the match: Adana Demirspor to win.
