Fenerbahce vs Ankaragucu Prediction: The Yellow Canaries To Set The Record Straight On Home Soil

Fenerbahce will attempt to rebound from their 4:2 setback to Besiktas at home earlier this month when they host Ankaragucu at the Şükrü Saracoğlu for the 29th round of the Super Lig.

Ankaragucu will likely face a difficult struggle in securing their second consecutive victory, as they have not been reliable when playing on the road due to their dismal away form that has them on a three-match losing streak.

Following their victory over Kayserispor in the Turkish Cup quarter-finals, the Yellow Canaries turned their focus on the Super Lig. In their most recent match, they were pitted up against Faith Karagumruk on the road, and high on confidence, they recorded a 2:1 victory.

Despite having won two straight games across all competitions, Jorge Jesus' men would have liked to see their unbeaten streak in the Super Lig reach nine games if not for their disappointing home loss to Besiktas about a week ago. Nevertheless, they can find solace in the fact that they have only lost one of their last nine games to accumulate 23 points from seven wins, and two draws.

The Yellow Canaries have tasted some bit of success this season on their home field, the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, where they have amassed 28 points in their last 13 games from nine wins, three losses, and one draw. Despite losses to rival teams Galatasaray and Besiktas, there is no denying that they have upheld their end of the bargain to put on an impressive performance at home.

They are now in second place with 57 points, 6 points behind first place, and will now look to league leaders Galatasaray to stumble in their upcoming matches to cut the gap and apply pressure.

Ankaragucu

Form: WLLWL

As they cruised to a 3:2 victory at home to secure a crucial three points and end a two-match losing streak, Tolunay Kafkas' men once again demonstrated that they are the superior team on paper when matched up against Istanbulspor, who in their last seven meetings have only lost to them at home once (3:1) while recording six wins and a draw.

Prior to that, they booked their place in the Turkish Cup semi-finals by dispatching resilient Trabzonspor at home in the quarter-finals with an emphatic 3:1 victory. It was a sensational comeback as they came back from a goal down by shipping out three goals in the second half, which proved crucial to their success against a heavily favored side.

Away from home, they've gone two straight games without scoring while posting a three-match losing streak and will be eager to get back to winning ways, though it won't be easy against a side they last recorded a 3:1 defeat against two years ago, and Tolunay Kafkas will be hoping that his side's fiery momentum doesn't die out on this encounter just as it's been reignited.

They are currently in 14th place with 28 points, one place above the relegation zone, and have a four-point lead over Giresunspor, who are in 16th place in the relegation zone.

Expert Betting Tips

In the standings, Fenerbahce hasn't given league leaders Galatasaray much of a chance as they keep up their relentless pursuit of first place. They'll be hoping that a victory in this match will keep their title aspirations alive.

Ankaragucu enters this game with a less than stellar road record, having won just once in their last six outings. It is unlikely that they will pull off an upset here against a team that has a three match winning streak over them, as such a convincing loss is just 90 minutes away from occurring.

Fenerbahce should have no trouble securing a comfortable win, especially at home where they've been averaging 2.85 goals per game. Expect Fenerbahce to win easily and the total to be over 2.5 because their last three matches against Ankaragucu have seen the total go over while they came out on top as winners.
