Command Analysis

Ankaragucu

Current form
Ankaragucu plays in the First League of Turkish football and plays well in it. For 18 rounds played with 27 points scored, the team is in sixth place in the standings. The team scores the main points on its home field, so, of course, the fans hope that in this meeting their favorites will be able to please with a victory in the recently arrived 2025. A little more than a year ago, they had to play with the upcoming opponent in front of local fans, and then they managed to win with a score of 3:1.
On December 27 last year, 54-year-old Kemal Özdeç took over the team. On January 4, under his leadership, the footballers dealt with Keçiörenguü in the national championship (2:0).

Interesting trends for betting

- The hosts have not lost for three games in a row
Estimated line-up: Ozbir - Belazer, Tekdemir, Coelho, Chochkalysh - Selik, Kitsiu - Cefas, Saponara, Vraga - Bayich.

Iskenderun FK

Current form
Iskenderunspor is plowing through the Second League of the White Group. After 17 rounds played, the team is in sixth place in the standings. This position in the ranking allows them to get into the playoffs and fight for promotion to the First League, but the thing is that there is still a lot of time until the end of the championship, and there are plenty of people who want to move the team down. Three clubs are behind in the ranking by no more than two points.
Away games are going well. If we take the last ten games as a basis, we have won four times, drawn three times and lost the same amount. Another thing is the opponent with whom we will have to play in the upcoming match. We don’t have to play teams of this level very often, so in theory the chances for a positive outcome will be small.
Disqualifications and injuries
All football players are in action.
Interesting trends for betting
- Iskenderunspor have scored in four of their last five away games
- The visitors have conceded in nine of the last ten meetings
Approximate lineup: Ozdemir - Turan, Zengir, Biler, Eker - Kursun, Tokar, Eralp - Aydin, Sinkara.
Tip and bets
A couple of days ago, in front of local fans, Ankaragucu footballers won against a stronger opponent than their upcoming opponent. Further matches in the Turkish Cup are coming against teams stronger than their upcoming opponent, so it is unlikely that the home team will play at half strength, and Kemal Ozdech can make a rotation if necessary, because even the reserves will be able to cope with a team playing in a lower league at home. We bet that the hosts will win.
Our prediction is Ankaragucu's victory with odds of 1.60
Bet on total
In four of their last five away defeats, Iskenderunspor failed to score even against their opponents. Considering this fact and the fact that they will have to face a team that plays in a league higher, it seems that the visitors will suffer another fiasco and will not even be able to score. Moreover, Ankaragucu has been playing well in front of local fans lately and did not even concede in the two previous victories.
Bet - at least one will not score. This bet is offered for 1.80
Bet on corners
If the hosts play as they did a few days ago against Kenciorengucu, they will be able to win the match not only by the score, but also by many other components, including the number of corner flag serves. We will place another bet on this event.
Bet - Asian handicap (-1.5) on corners for Ankaragucu. We will take such a bet for 1.55
