Pendikspor vs Ankaragucu prediction 25.12.2023

• Competition: Super Lig
• Date: Monday, 25th December 2023
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Pendik Stadyumu (Istanbul)

In the previous two years, Pendikspor managed to secure two consecutive promotions and found themselves in the Turkish top-flight division for the first time in their 73-year-old history. However, this season, they will have the difficult task of surviving in the Super Lig because they are undoubtedly one of the candidates for relegation. After 16 rounds, they are 19th with 13 points, three away from the safe zone. Unfortunately for them, at this moment, they are having injury problems, and that is surely one of the reasons why they are on a four-game losing streak. 

Ankaragucu secured promotion in the 2021/22 season, and last season, they stayed in the league after finishing 11th. This season, after a bad start where they won just once in the first seven rounds, Ankaragucu are only getting better as the season progresses. Right now, they are on a five-game unbeaten run and have a good chance to extend it since they are playing against one of the weakest teams in the league. 

Pendikspor vs Ankaragucu pick: Ankaragucu to (AH 0) win

Pendikspor lost four Super Lig games in a row with a devastating 2:13 goal difference! The injuries are creating a lot of problems for them, and for this match, the situation isn't getting better. 

In Turkey, the home-pitch advantage was always a real thing, but we cannot say that has a factor for Pendikspor as they won only one match in seven home Super Lig games. That was vs Samsunspor, in a match where Samsunspor were objectively a better team and deserved at least one point. 

Ankaragucu haven't lost in the last four Super Lig games, and even though they won just one of those matches, they were very good in all matches and deserved wins in at least a couple more games. Regardless of that, they are still in much better form than their opponents, and with a full team, we think they are closer to winning all three points.
