Pendikspor will host Alanyaspor on Tuesday in the Super Lig. After their prior matches ended in stalemates, both teams will be hoping to resume their winning ways in this match.
Preview (Pendikspor vs. Antalyaspor)
After a 2-2 tie, Pendikspor’s match against Gaziantep at the Kalyon Stadyumu on Friday had to settle for a share of the spoils. Dennis Dragus and Gun Ozcicek put Ivo Vieira’s team down two goals. Goals from Erdem Ozgenc and Erencan Yardimci in the last 13 minutes pulled them level. Pendikspor is now one spot down in the Turkish Super Lig standings. They are three points outside of safety as the season approaches its halfway mark. The opposition team has won all three of the prior iterations of this match.
The hosts on Tuesday will need to step up at the top of the pitch to have any hope of winning this one because they have allowed the fewest goals to be scored on home ground in the entire division thus far. When Antalyaspor and Alanyaspor squared off at Corendon Airlines Park on Friday night, there was a scoreless draw. For significant portions of the match, Sergen Yalcin’s team was up against the wall. They managed to secure a hard-fought victory. The Scorpions are in ninth place in the rankings with 25 points from 18 games this season. They are just four points from the final European position. Before Tuesday’s game, the visitors have only won two of their previous fourteen away games. They will be eager to change that trend.
Team News
Emeka Eze of Pendikspor has been out since September due to an ankle ailment, and the Nigerian will not be playing on Tuesday. Erencan Yardimci, 21, is a player to watch out for as he has scored 11 goals in his past 13 games for both club and country. After returning to action for Antalyaspor after a two-game suspension, Erdal Rakip is set to keep his spot in the starting lineup.
Due to a knock, Ramzi Safari was unable to play in his team’s tie with Alanyaspor, and he is highly unlikely to play in this one. We’re expecting a nervous and tense game between two of the division’s lowest-scoring clubs. Nevertheless, we predict that the visitors will ultimately succeed in finishing the task.
