Ankaragucu hosts Besiktas in round 14 of the Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Thursday, December 24th at Eryaman Stadium (Ankara)
Ankaragucu is a modest Turkish club with minimal tournament achievements in its history. The team from Ankara has twice won the national cup and once won the Super Cup. Now the Yellow-Blues are outsiders of the league and occupy the 19th line in the standings (nine points scored in 12 matches). In the last three rounds, Ankaragucu gained two victories over Konyaspor and Hatayspor and tied with Genclerbirligi. Before the start of the championship, the team from Ankara changed more than half of its squad. Now the coaching staff is actively building the core of the team, which will solve the tournament tasks assigned to the club. The leaders of Ankaragucu include such performers as Sarlija, Borven, Paintsil, Tiago Pinto, Lobzhanidze, and Friedrich.

Besiktas is a top Turkish club with great victorious traditions in the local arena. Black Eagles are gradually gaining their optimal shape, and now they take fourth place in the standings. Sergen Yalcin continues to work with the team, although he recently was under threat of dismissal. In the last rounds, the Istanbul grandee began to show signs of life, gaining several important points and making it to the 1/8 finals of the national cup. Recently, the club has been saving on transfers by signing free agents or inexpensive newcomers. Besides, Besiktash does not hesitate to loan players (Ghezzal, B. Mensa, Rosier, and Montero). Welinton, N'Sakala, Joseph, Atakan Uner, Gokhan Tore, and Aboubakar have signed contracts on a continuous basis.
Besiktas gradually gains shape and is already able to leapfrog to the top of the standings. To do this, Sergen Yalcin's wards need to gain two or three victories. And the Black Eagles must start this streak in Ankara. The home team does not impress with the quality of the football shown and regularly make gross mistakes in defensive actions. We think the visitors will manage to gain victory.
Prediction for the match: Besiktas to win
