Ankaragucu take on the visitors Galatasaray in the round 36 match of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Tuesday, May 30th at Eryaman Stadium (Ankara).
Ankaragucu have even become champions of Turkey and won the cup a couple of times. However, their last league title was in 1949, and overall, their most recent trophy dates back to 1981. In recent years, they have spent a considerable amount of time in the First League. They managed to win it in the spring of last year. Of course, now, like any newcomer to the top flight, their main task was simply to stay at the new level. Overall, it can be said that they have succeeded. Under the guidance of Tolunay Kafkas, his team has already accumulated 39 points after 33 matches, including recent draws of 1-1 against Antalyaspor and a 2-1 away victory over Umraniyespor. Additionally, they reached the semifinals of the Turkish Cup, where they played the second leg against Istanbul on June 25th.

Galatasaray currently serve as a prime example that the current Chelsea should follow. A year ago, the Istanbul giant hit rock bottom, just like the Blues are doing now: they finished last season's Super Lig in 13th place. It was a disgrace for the record holder of all Turkish football titles and the only representative of the country to have won European cups! In 2022, the "Crimson-Yellows" appointed their legend, Okan Buruk, as the head coach, who had already gained significant experience as a coach. And the controversial decision to bring in the scandalous Icardi turned out to be successful. Mauro has already scored close to 20 goals in the league, and his new team confidently leads the standings, approaching their first title since 2019. April ended with a couple of setbacks, including draws against Fatih Karagumruk and even a loss to their closest pursuer, Besiktas. However, in May, they managed to win all three matches: 1-0 against Istanbul Basaksehir, and 2-0 against Istanbulspor and Sivasspor. As a result, Galatasaray is now ahead of both their usual neighbors and eternal rivals, Besiktas and Fenerbahce, by 5 points.
Although the clubs are rated at completely different levels, the capital team has won twice in the last four encounters with the Istanbul giant, the same number of matches they lost. In January, Galatasaray secured a 2-1 victory at home. The Super Lig leader is in good form, while the hosts have little motivation to fight for points in this match. We recommend betting that the visitors from Istanbul will win with a handicap of "-1.0 goals scored."
Prediction for the match: Galatasaray to win with -1.0 handicap.
