Besiktas vs Ankaragucu prediction and betting tips on April 19, 2024
Ankaragucu
The 33rd round of the Turkish championship will kick off with a match in Istanbul, where local Besiktas will host Ankaragucu at Vodafone Park. Here's the prediction for this match from the Dailysports team.
Besiktas
The Istanbul club has failed to contend for the championship and Champions League spots. Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have surged ahead by a considerable margin, leaving the main task for the "black and whites" to secure their spot in European competitions. Besiktas recently held third place, but a series of setbacks in their recent matches have pushed them down, with Rizespor now breathing down their necks from fifth place. Meanwhile, Trabzonspor capitalized on their competitor's slip-ups, creating a four-point cushion. In the last round, Besiktas drew at home with Samsunspor (1-1), marking their fifth loss of points in the Super Lig.
Ankaragucu
The capital club is having a far from stellar season and currently occupies 13th place in the Super Lig table. In 32 matches, Ankaragucu has gathered 37 points, winning only 8 matches and drawing in 13. The gap between Emre Belozoglu's wards and the relegation zone is six points. It's worth acknowledging that Ankaragucu has significantly improved its league position in recent rounds. In the last round, Emre Belozoglu's team defeated Gaziantep at home with a score of 3-1. This victory was the second in the last three rounds for Ankaragucu, with the team losing only one match in their last five in the Super Lig.
