Alanyaspor take on the visitors Antalyaspor in the round 38 match of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Friday, May 24rd at Kırbıyık Holding Stadyumu (Alanya).
Last season, Alanyaspor finished 15th in the Turkish championship. Currently, with one game remaining, the team is in seventh place in the table and theoretically can climb one more spot. This season has definitely been a positive one for them, especially towards the end, as Alanyaspor have only lost once in their last ten league matches, with three draws and six wins. However, while the team was defeating opponents left and right in April, in May they have drawn 1-1 with Ankaragücü, Beşiktaş, and Samsunspor.

Antalyaspor, although not progressing as significantly over the year, has still performed better this season compared to the last. They were 13th in the Süper Lig last season, and are currently tenth, with no chance of dropping lower regardless of the result in the final round. At the end of the championship, the Scorpions look noticeably worse than the hosts of the upcoming match, and it is far from certain that they will manage even a draw. However, I believe it is reasonable to expect at least one goal from Antalyaspor. For five consecutive matches in the Süper Lig, the Scorpions have both scored and conceded: victories over Hatayspor (2-1) and Adana Demirspor (2-1), losses to Pendikspor (1-2), Kasımpaşa (1-3), and Fatih Karagümrük (1-4).
In the final round of the championship, neither team has any significant motivation. This means together, in the last match of the season, entertain the fans with bright attacking football. My prediction is that both teams will score. Both the hosts and the visitors have been good in attack this season: in 37 rounds of the Süper Lig, Alanyaspor have scored 52 goals, while Antalyaspor have 43. The Both Teams to Score bet has come through in four of the last five meetings between these teams. I believe that once again, both teams will manage to find the net at least once.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
