Kasimpasa hosts Altay in round 19 of the Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Saturday, December 25th at 5 Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadyumu (Istanbul)
Kasimpasa risks "celebrating" the centenary with relegation to the First League. Not so long ago (in 2012), the team managed to rise to the top division of the country again and gain a foothold there. Several times the Apaches were close to getting into European competitions. But already in the last draw, they took only 14th place. And now they can only dream of such a result. These representatives of Istanbul, who are significantly less popular than their neighbors, are stuck at the very bottom of the standings. And more and more points separate Kasimpasa from the saving 16th place. A draw against Antalyaspor brought only the 3rd point in the last seven rounds. The desired line is taken just by Altay, so it is extremely important for the Apaches to gain three points in the upcoming game.

At one time, Altay took part in seven finals of the Turkish Cup, and two attempts were successful. Beyond that, the Black-and-Whites gained bronze medals several times and participated in European competitions relatively regularly. But leaving the top division in 2003, Altay could not return to such a level for a long time. The Black-and-Whites played in the First League in the previous season, but after finishing it in 5th place, they managed to win the playoffs and got a ticket to the elite. It is clear that the representative of Izmir was considered as an outsider of the draw. Under the management of Mustafa Denizli, Altay managed to earn points more or less regularly at first. But the 5th and last victory was gained back in September, and then the statistics worsened. The Black-and-Whites have not managed to win eleven games in a row.
Kasimpasa and Altay crossed paths quite regularly when they played in the First League, but that was in 2009 and earlier. But it is curious that there is equality so far: two victories for each club and a couple of draws. Now the teams are out of shape and are unlikely to show productive football. We are waiting for Under 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
