Ankaragucu vs Adana Demirspor Prediction: Can the hosts justify their status as favourites?

Ankaragücü will face Adana Demirspor in the 38th round of the Turkish championship. Can the hosts justify their status as favourites? What's the best bet?

Ankaragücü can undoubtedly consider this season a breakthrough. It should be remembered that they were in the second division of Turkish football in the past, but this year they have reclassified themselves as the Süper Lig mid-table. They sit in 11th place with 42 points ahead of the final round. Ankaragücü hardly thought about survival during the campaign, which was a big success. It should be noted that after the significant loss to Galatasaray (1:4), the team secured a 1:0 victory over Kayserispor.

Adana Demirspor is in the top flight for the second season. This season, they are again at the top of the Süper Lig, sitting in fourth place with 66 points. Yes, they failed to qualify for European competitions, but there are much more serious contenders, and initially, there was little chance of that. Not so long ago, Adana Demirspor lost to Besiktas (1:4), after which they beat Istanbulspor 2:0 and, last week, failed to overcome Başakşehir (2:3).

For some reason, bookmakers believe Ankaragücü has a better chance of winning this match. However, we would not be too quick to write off Adana Demirspor as they are a stronger club that does not like to lose at all. This season, they suffered seven defeats against top-6 teams. Ankaraguciu is nowhere near that number. Therefore, we think the visitors can at least not concede now, and we expect a draw as a whole.
