Ankaragucu vs Trabzonspor Prediction & Betting tips
Last week, Abdullah Avci made a successful coaching debut at Trabzonspor. In the home game against BB Erzurumspor, the team around the former Turkish national coach prevailed 1-0 and ended the current form crisis in the Süper Lig. Nevertheless, the weak start to the season was not compensated for for the time being.
After all, last year’s runner-up is in 15th place in the table in the Süper Lig. On Friday evening, the Black Sea club will kick off the tenth matchday in the Turkish House of Lords and will travel to the Turkish capital in Ankara. There is a supposedly compulsory task.
The Bordeaux-Blauen meet the bottom of the table in the Süper Lig. Ankaragücü has only scored two points this season. Last week, the head coach Fuat Capa was also fired, which is why the traditional club from the Turkish capital is contesting the home game against Trabzonspor with an interim solution.
The best bookmakers see the game between Ankaragücü vs. Trabzonspor the guests according to odds as favorites. A prognosis is definitely recommended, even if the recent appearance of the Black Sea kicker was in need of improvement. Further tips about football in the Turkish upper house can be found in the betting base section Süper Lig Tips.
Ankaragücü:
Ankaragücü set course for the second Turkish division. The capital city club is still in free fall, scoring just two points in seven games. Last week the head coach Fuat Capa was sacked after the defeat in Izmir. In the short term, the blue-yellows could not present a successor, which is why the scepter will be handed over to Mustafa Dalci, the former assistant coach.
On Friday evening, Ankaragücü will play their home game against Trabzonspor. If you consider how weak the capital city footballers have presented themselves in the last few weeks, a point win against last year’s runner-up from Trabzon can almost be ruled out. After all, there were five defeats across all competitions in the last six competitive games, including the cup failure against third division Kocaelispor.
Ankaragücü conceded a total of 14 goals. In any case, the blue and yellow are currently the second weakest defense of the Süper Lig. Only the Friday opponent from Trabzon conceded more goals in the current season, but also has two more games to play than the bottom of the table in the Süper Lig.
Compared to the last few weeks, when Ankaragücü had to struggle with a few staff concerns, the list of failures on Friday evening is rather manageable. With Joseph Paintsil and Assane Dioussé, only two players are expected to have to pause against Trabzonspor.
Trabzonspor:
Trabzonspor wants to initiate the turnaround under Abdullah Avci. The Schwarzmeerkicker mastered the home game against BB Erzurum on the debut of the former Turkish national coach and even kept the clean slate. Surprisingly, because statistically Trabzonspor has the worst defense of the Süper Lig.
If Abdullah Avci’s game philosophy has its way, it cannot be ruled out that those statistics will improve over the course of the first half of the season. The 57-year-old Turkish coach is mainly on the defensive and is known for his possession football.
His commitment in Istanbul, where Avci had to give up the sails after 27 competitive games, showed that this does not always achieve the desired success. The decision by the board of the previous year’s runner-up to have Abdullah Avci sign a three-year contract was all the more surprising.
But the defense was not a major construction site this season. After the serious departures in summer, there is no trace of last year’s offensive power of the Bordeaux-Blues. Leaving key players like Jose Sosa and Alexander Sörloth could not really be compensated.
In winter, therefore, selective reinforcements at the Black Sea Club cannot be ruled out. Those responsible at Trabzonspor are currently trying to get a loan from Sörloth, who is currently hardly used at RB Leipzig. For the time being, Abdullah Avci only has the current squad available, with which the best possible placement in the first half of the season should be achieved.
Five players will be missing in Ankara on Friday evening. Big changes compared to the last starting XI are not expected.
