On January 9th, within the Turkish championship, Pendikspor and Antalyaspor are set to engage in their encounter. The match forecast for this confrontation has been devised by our specialists.
Pendikspor
For Pendikspor, this season is historic as the club makes its debut in the elite tier of Turkish football. The team currently struggles to maintain the competitive standard, evident in their penultimate position in the league table. The chances of retaining their top-tier status remain, with a three-point gap from the 16th relegation spot. In the last fixture, the team displayed character by initially trailing 0-2 away against Gaziantep but eventually securing a 2-2 draw.
Pendikspor has gone six consecutive league matches without a victory, accumulating only two points during this period. An injury will sideline one player from taking the field.
Antalyaspor
Antalyaspor plays with varying success, occupying the ninth position in the league table. The gap from the top quartet is four points, providing a target for the team to strive towards. In the last round, the club played to a goalless draw at home against Alanyaspor. The team is currently not in the best form, experiencing a winless streak of three games, with only two points earned during this stretch. The club has no personnel losses ahead of this particular encounter.
Statistics and Match Prediction
The teams have faced each other twice in the Turkish Cup, in 2020 and 2022, both times with Antalyaspor hosting. Another meeting took place last summer, ending in a 1-1 draw. Bookmakers marginally favor the visitors, although overall, one should expect an unpredictable battle. A reasonable bet here is on a total of fewer than 3 goals.
