The hosts come into this game placed 12th on 39 points, 40 points behind Galatasaray. Ankaragucu aren’t safe from relegation yet; they need at least five points from the remaining three games. They have avoided defeat in their last three games, though two of them were draws. The hosts’ only win in the last six matches was against Umraniyespor and they will hope to shock the league leaders here. Ankaragucu are coming from elimination from the Turkish Cup, at the semi final stage. They drew 2-2 with Istanbul Basaksehir but lost 3-2 on aggregate. Once again, their failure will be down to poor defending, having conceded in each of the last five matches. They’ve however beaten Galatasaray in each of the last two home meetings.

Galatasaray beat Ankaragucu 2-1 in their first meeting this season but winning away from home in this fixture has proven tough.

In recent matches, their away run in the league has been shaky, but they have eight wins in the last 10. Gala have lost twice in the last four away league matches.

Galatasaray may have struggled away to Ankaragucu, but we don’t see that continuing here, in their shape. They’ve won eight of 10 away matches, and face a side with one win in six matches.
