Antalyaspor - Ankaragücü predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Ankaragücü are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Antalyaspor should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

Ankaragücü appear severely unprepared for a clash with Antalyaspor, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.95 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

The hosts are coming off from an important, morale-boosting victory. Antalyaspor were not expected to come with a full bag of spoils from their latest Super Lig trip but a first-team lead ended up making a big difference in the end for a Beşiktaş HT/FT triumph.

Ankaragücü went into their previous match against İstanbul Başakşehir with a slight edge in form and home-field advantage, resulting in a comfortable and somewhat predictable 2:1 home win.

Ankaragücü can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

A finish in the upper parts of the table seems increasingly unlikely for Ankaragücü with each passing round. After 31 games, they’re number 14th in the standings, which is too close to the relegation zone for comfort. More alarmingly, earning any points in this matchup would be quite difficult.

The two teams already met this season in the Super Lig, with Antalyaspor taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
