Genclerbirligi vs Alanyaspor Prediction & Betting tips
As in the last season, Alanyaspor is causing a sensation in the 2020/21 season. After ten match days, the surprise team from Alanya is at the top of the table and, compared to pursuers like Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, has even one game less in the account. The away game in Ankara is scheduled for the leaders of the Süper Lig this weekend.
When Genclerbirligi vs. Alanyaspor are the guests favored according to the odds of the best bookmakers. The home side are currently in the penultimate place in the table and made a false start with five points from the first nine league games. It is quite possible that the next setback will follow on Saturday.
After all, the second weakest offensive in the league will meet the best defensive in the league. The black and reds from Ankara don’t really have the arsenal to endanger the defensive bulwark of the league leaders. So it would be all the more surprising if Alanyaspor gave up on this matchday for the third time this season.
Genclerbirligi:
Genclerbirligi remains the problem child of the Süper Lig. Like city rivals Ankaragücü, the capital club made a false start and is currently one of the hottest relegation candidates in the Turkish upper house. A few weeks ago, Mert Nobre, who was once a player for the club, was dismissed from his position as coach. His successor is Mustafa Kaplan.
The 52-year-old is no stranger to Genclerbirligi. Kaplan had previously held various functions within the club, and as head coach it will be his fourth term. So far, three competitive games have been played under Kaplan, of which only the cup game against the amateur club Kirsehir Belediyespor (1-0) was won.
Last week Genclerbirligi suffered their sixth defeat of the current season in the away game in Istanbul. Although Kaplan’s team tried to be on the offensive for long stretches, the goal for the black-reds failed again. In any case, only six goals have been scored so far, which means that Genclerbirligi is currently the worst attacking division of the Süper Lig behind Kayserispor.
The home game against Alanyaspor hardly suits the table penultimate. After all, the weak offensive of the black-reds against the defensive bulwark of the table leaders is facing a mammoth task. Mustafa Kaplan will at least be spared major personnel restrictions. On Saturday, the 52-year-old is only missing Ayité and Dursun.
Alanyaspor:
Déjà vu for Alanyaspor? As in the previous season, the Mediterranean club mixed up the Süper Lig at the beginning of the season and continued to top the table. Almost a year ago, the lead had to be given up on matchday twelve. It is quite possible that Alanyaspor will stay longer in the sun this time, because there have been no signs of declining performance recently.
So far, with a balance of 7-2-0, 23 points have already been booked this season, with a catch-up game still to be played. Accordingly, the points cushion can be expanded to six points for pursuers such as Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. It is all the more important for the Mediterranean club to continue the current winning streak and master the mandatory task on this Saturday.
In the current league season, Alanyaspor have conceded only three goals in nine games so far, with two of the three goals conceded in the top games against Trabzonspor and Galatasaray. The Orange-Greens are currently the best defense in the Turkish House of Lords. The offensive game was by no means neglected.
Statistically speaking, a record was also set with 19 goals. Winger Davidson, who was signed by Vitoria Guimaraes in the summer, is currently the top scorer with six goals and two assists. If you consider how weak Genclerbirligi was recently on the flanks, another goal of the Brazilian offensive man of the Orange-Greens is quite obvious.
Cagdas Atan will not have to complain about any serious failures at the away game in the Turkish capital. Only Ufuk Ceylan, long-term injured at the Mediterranean club, will still have to pause.
