On Thursday, starting with 16:00, the Ankaragucu – Besiktas match will be played, within the 14th round in Turkey, the first league. Besiktas is unbeaten in the last 7 direct matches and has lost only once in Ankara in the previous 21 seasons. In the previous season, the “eagles” won 2-1 at home and drew away, score 0-0.
Undefeated in the last 3 stages of the Super League, Ankaragucu will have a very difficult duel with Besiktas, a group that lost only once on “Eryaman” in the previous 21 seasons. The hosts come after the victories with Konyaspor (4-3) and Hatayspor (2-0), and in the 13th round they drew on Genclerbirligi’s field, score 1-1. So far this season, Ankaragucu has accumulated only 9 points (of which 7 in stages 11-13) and ranks 19th in the standings, one relegated to the Turkish second league.
With 4 victories in the last 5 stages, Besiktas reached 22 points and climbed to 4th place in the Super League standings, 4 points away (and a less disputed match) than the leader Alanyaspor. Sergen Yalcin’s students have only one draw in the 12 stages, along with 7 successes and 4 defeats. In the seasonal trips, the “eagles” ticked 3 victories and 3 defeats, but the external goal average is a negative one, 13-15. However, Besiktas is the big favorite on Ankaragucu’s field, where he has managed excellent positive results lately.
