Prediction

  • Rizespor were beaten 2-0 by Basaksehir last time out. Basaksehir away is one of the more difficult fixtures in the Super Lig so the loss wasn't seen as a surprise at all. However, Palut's team's performance revealed how important a figure Shelvey is for Rizespor, as in his absence their midfield looked much weaker. Luckily for Palut and his men, Ankaragucu's midfield is not as strong as Basaksehir's.
  • Ankaragucu were beaten 2-0 by Besiktas last time out. Then they faced the Black Eagles in the Turkish Cup semi final first leg, which ended in a goalless draw. Belozoglu's team created quite a few chances in that midweek tie, but that was more due to Besiktas' abysmal performance than to Ankaragucu's attacking prowess.
