THE PREDICTION

Ankara is the setting for a huge encounter in terms of the Turkish Super Lig relegation battle as rock bottom Genclerbirligi hosts 17th-placed Istanbul Basaksehir, with the defending champions only out of the bottom four by virtue of goal difference. Whilst the visitors have avoided defeat in their last two games, they are winless in their last ten league matches. Genclerbirligi meanwhile, like their opponents have not won in ten league games and therefore a cagey affair is expected with so much on the line for both sides. Istanbul Basaksehir are likely to stick bodies behind the ball in bulk, in the knowledge that a draw keeps them five points clear of the hosts and with Genclerbirligi having only scored twice in their last six, they may be forced to settle for a point here.
