Giresunspor will seek to give their survival hopes a major boost by winning away to Umraniyespor this Saturday in the Turkish Super Lig. Umraniyespor have already been relegated but 16th-placed Giresunspor can still salvage their season. A historic season for Umraniyespor has had a disappointing ending. This was Umraniyespor’s debut campaign in the Turkish topflight but they will go right back down just one season after being promoted. Mustafa Er’s charges struggled to stay afloat and have managed only seven wins so far and have lost 18 times. They won the reverse fixture by a solitary goal. And having gone unbeaten in two of the three matches they have last played, Umraniyespor will approach this much with belief they can succeed.
Giresunspor are two points adrift of safety. They will need Istanbulspor to stumble just once, hopefully in this round for them to claw their way out of the drop zone. Giresunspor come to this match after a disappointing 4-2 loss at home against Trabzonspor. This setback extended their run without a win to five matches with four of those fixtures ending in defeat. Irfan Buz’s charges have managed one more win than Umraniyespor and are four points above them in the standings.
Our prediction for Umraniyespor v Giresunspor is for the match to produce over 2.5 goals. Both teams have not found it hard to score in recent weeks but have struggled in defence, especially Umraniyespor.
