Ankaragücü is looking for direction having 3 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 8th placed Kayserispor, recorded a 2-4 loss against Fatih Karagümrük. Levent Mercan scored the first goal for Fatih Karagümrük in the 1st minute, then Mbaye Diagne added another in the 12th minute. Kayserispor should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Kayserispor’s most prolific scorer has been Mame Thiam. The Senegalese attacker has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Tolga Ciğerci and Ali Sowe are the top scorers for Ankaragücü in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Ömer Erdogan’s Ankaragücü squad will be without Jesé Rodríguez and Gökhan Akkan, while Kayserispor will be without Nurettin Korkmaz and Joseph Attamah.
