Antalyaspor – Statistics & Current Form
If the squad of Antalyaspor in recent seasons is considered, can only be amazed. Players like Eto’o or Nasri, as well as many other legionaries known throughout Europe, found their way to Antalya. However, the Turkish club did not benefit greatly from all the legionnaires. Only Eto’o knew how to convince and has kept as a performance carrier of the team partially Antalyaspor above water. After Antalyaspor got the receipt for the lousy transfer policy last season, from a financial point of view it did not look good for the club. The upheaval at Antalyaspor was tackled with Bülent Korkmaz. The experienced coach was able to revamp the team and bridge the financial worries with sporting successes.
After the relatively tight relegation from the season previously occupied Antalyaspor in the current season the ninth place ranking. A big cushion on a relegation place is not available. Just five points separate the Korkmaz-Elf from the relegation places. In the current negative trend of six games without victory Antalyaspor is actually urgently reliant on a threesome. Ironically, Basaksehir, the team with the strongest defense of the Süper Lig, is now in Antalya. Recently, there was a disaster at home anyway Besiktas traditional club. In a 2-6, Antalyaspor had received goals over goals from Besiktas. At the beginning of the year still with a point win over Fenerbahce, Korkmaz had presented the duel against Besiktas certainly different.
With 22 goals, Antalyaspor has a rather weak offensive in the Süper Lig average. Although Antalya has scored a total of three goals in the last two games, but before there were in four league games in series no goal for Antalyaspor. In the manageable offensive Souleymane Doukara is in the lead. With nine points scorer (seven goals, two assists) Doukara leads the internal scorer list. On Monday, Korkmaz will be able to make the most of it again. In the 4-4-2 system, Korkmaz will do everything possible to avoid a disaster like Besiktas. In games against defensive strong teams Antalyaspor did not show a very good performance. Already Konyaspor and Yeni Malatyaspor were able to compete with Zu-Zero successes against Antalya. Should be at Antalyaspor Vs. Basaksehir still pay off the odds on the home side, there would be a lucrative reward in case of success.

Basaksehir – Statistics & Current Form
Ironically against BB Erzurumspor important points are left in the championship race. The strongest defensive of the Süper Lig allowed themselves on the last matchday a fatal blunder and conceded in the final quarter of the hour the equalizer against the promoted. This allowed the two title rivals Galatasaray and Besiktas catch up again. As leader of the league Basaksehir has a cushion of six points on the competition. To keep it that way, you have to win in Antalyaspor. Abdullah Avci has never been so close to a title win as this season. A meager eleven goals conceded in 21 games speak a clear language. In addition, with 32 goals and the offensive game has been very solid. Since the surprise home defeat by Sivasspor, Basaksehir are now unbeaten in seven Süper Lig games. How strong the team of Avci is on the road, the championship leader could prove in Trabzon. In the actually challenging away game on the Black Sea Avci changed his playing system and let the offense speak. Four goals were poured into the Black Sea Club! With an away balance of 7-3-1, there was only at the beginning of the season a defeat at Kasimpasa. Since then, the Avci-Elf is unbeaten on foreign terrain. In the last two away games Basaksehir scored seven goals.

Attacking player Edin Visca heads the internal scoring list with nine goals and eleven assists. The Bosnian international has made a huge performance boost and consistently impressed in the last two seasons. With strikers like Demba Ba, Emmanuel Adebayor and Robinho, Abdullah Avci is spoiled for choice on offense. Many players in the squad are also variably applicable. After Basaksehir is eliminated in the Turkish Cup, the whole focus is placed on the league competition. Against the attacking rather weak team from Antalya Basaksehir will certainly not be difficult on Monday. In order for Antalyaspor against Basaksehir a prediction in favor of the home side true, but must also deliver the offensive. It’ll work?
