Ankaragucu vs Basaksehir Prediction & Betting tips
Basaksehir can still dream of the title. As second in the table, the orange-blue from Istanbul are currently tied with the leaders from Trabzon. Last week, Buruk’s team mastered the restart of the Süper Lig with flying colors and celebrated a home win over Alanyaspor. Matchday 28 will now be kicked off with the away game in the Turkish capital.
Basaksehir meets the relegation-prone MKE Ankaragücü. The capital club is one of the most traditional football clubs in Turkey, but has not really found success in the recent past. Already last year, the black and yellow from Ankara barely scraped past the descent. It is quite possible that this time the jump to the saving bank will be missed.
For MKE Ankaragücü, relegation to the second Turkish league would be a financial meltdown. Already many salaries cannot be paid, which is why there is unrest within the team. It was probably not the best idea to add 15 new players to the squad on the deadline day from the last transfer window.
However, the capital kickers still have seven game days to make it into the relegation class, especially since the gap to a non-relegation spot is only two points.

Ankaragucu:
Throughout the first half of the season, MKE Ankaragücü called for the TFF to lift the transfer ban. The Turkish football association, however, opposed and referred to the financial difficulties at the capital club. In the last transfer window, MKE Ankaragücü’s transfer lock was only released on Deadline Day.
The club president Fatih Mert quickly brought 15 new players on Deadline Day. It remains to be seen how Mert’s inconsiderate transfer policy should be assessed, but if there is no relegation, the financial risk for the capital club will be enormous. There are already difficulties in paying the numerous player salaries.
So they are not exactly the best conditions in the relegation battle. Last week there was an away draw for Ankaragücü at the Süper Lig at Gaziantep. Although the black and yellow dominated the game at will, there was only a division of points in the Turkish pistachio town. The latest performance also has to be taken up with the Friday game.
Although a lot was invested in the squad, not much had changed in the second half of the goalscoring from the capital club. MKE Ankaragücü is the second weakest offensive of the Süper Lig with just 24 goals. The weaknesses in the attacking division were already apparent during the away game in Gaziantep. Numerous – sometimes clear – opportunities were not exploited.
It remains to be seen how the offensive will line up against the strongest defense of the Süper Lig. If the miserable exploitation of opportunities continues, a point win or even a goal against the runners-up of the Süper Lig will hardly be possible. Akcay will only have to do without his central defender Kulusic on Friday evening.
The 34-year-old Croatian received his fifth yellow card on the previous day and now has to pause. If the capital kickers land a big point in the relegation battle on Friday evening, attractive odds for a tip on a point win by the home side can be tapped at Ankaragücü against Basaksehir.
Basaksehir:
Okan Buruk is continuing his steep coaching career and could soon even be hired as the head coach of the Turkish record champions. The 46-year-old was already active at Galatasaray in his playing time and repeatedly flirted with a coaching engagement with his old love. For the time being, however, Buruk wants to achieve the title dream with his current team.
In recent years, the orange and blue have been involved in the title race again and again, but have not been able to pass the maturity tests in the end of the season. In the meantime, Basaksehir has already established itself as a top club in the Süper Lig and was accordingly named as a potential title candidate at the beginning of the season.
Basaksehir is currently in second place and is tied with the leaders from Trabzon. The Orange-Blues are the best defensive with 25 goals conceded and the second best offensive of the Süper Lig with 52 goals. Last weekend there was a clean slate for the club from the metropolis for the 13th time.
One of the guarantors of success this season is undoubtedly winger Edin Visca. The 30-year-old Bosnian offensive man from the second in the table currently has 21 scorer points. On last matchday Edin Visca scored his ninth goal of the current season. It is quite possible that the Bosnian offensive star from Basaksehir will also start on Friday evening.
Okan Buruk is unlikely to make any major changes to the team after the solid performance against Alanyaspor’s strong defensive. The starting eleven from the runner-up of the Süper Lig are expected to remain unchanged.
