Team News

Istanbulspor
Ankaragucu
  • Simon Deli, who wasn't expected to start here, is manager Hakan Yakin's only injury concern.
  • Stelios Kitsou, who wasn't expected to start here, is manager Emre Belozoglu's only injury concern.

Prediction

  • Istanbulspor were beaten 2-0 by Besiktas last time out. Both teams were led by caretaker managers and it was the quality of Besiktas's squad that brought them the easy win.
  • In the break, Istanbulspor hired Hakan Yakin but so far this season, their problem has not been of manager but squad-related. They have a decent attacking lineup but are stretched and lack quality at the back. And, Yakin is unlikely to be able to solve that at least until January.
  • Ankaragucu brushed Kayserispor aside 3-0 last time out. This was Belozoglu's first game in charge and the young manager deserved all the credit he received after the game. They played an exciting, adventurous football, created quite a few chances, and also looked solid at the back.
  • The Cigerci-Bekiroglu partnership in midfield was particularly impressive and if Ankaragucu continue to play like this, they will be a side no team wants to face.
