Altinordu hosts Boluspor in round 19 of the Turkish 1. Lig. The match will be played on Friday, December 24th at Izmir Atatürk Stadyumu (Izmir)
Altinordu is a Turkish equivalent of Athletic Bilbao. Not so long ago, the club decided to choose a model of the development of the Basques as an example. That is, Altinordu is trying to bring up young talents. As a result, it was in Izmir that the careers of such current stars as Cengiz Under and Caglar Soyuncu began. But if they are already in the top championships, then their native team is still at the level of the second-ranked division of Turkey. Last season Altinordu took 6th place and tried to break into the Super League through the playoffs, but now the Red-Blues have only 19 points after 17 rounds and are in the relegation zone. On the other hand, three victories in the last four rounds give a reason to say that Altinordu is getting out of the crisis. And it has chances of climbing several positions higher by the New Year.

In the 70s, Boluspor took third place in the championship and played in the UEFA Cup. A little later the Red-Blacks played in the cup final. On the other hand, they were in the second division in the 90s. And in the 2000s, they even dropped to the Third League of the country. Stability has been observed for the last decade and a half: Boluspor has always managed to stay in the First League since 2007, not particularly shining with results there. In the last championship, the club finished 12th out of 18 participants. Nothing is changing now: Boluspor managed to gain five victories and 21 points in 17 matches. Such intermediate results provide only 13th place and a 2-point gap from the relegation zone.
In the last eight head-to-head matches, Boluspor gained only one victory (in 2018, it was able to win 1-5 away). Altinordu was stronger in four out of five last games, and one match ended in a draw. Altinordu was able to step up in the last rounds, and now this team is hardly eager to lose points in the home match against a fighter for survival. We bet that the hosts will gain at least a draw.
Prediction for the match: Altinordu to win with +0.5 handicap
