In the Turkish Super Lig, Alanyaspor is gearing up to face off against Fatih Karagumruk at Kirbiyik Holding Stadium, both vying for their second win of the season.
After a recent 4-0 defeat against Adana Demirspor, Alanyaspor seeks redemption from their shaky start to the season.
Their challenge is to overcome Fatih Karagumruk, who hasn’t secured a win since the opening weeks of the campaign.
Match Preview
Alanyaspor faced a tough 1-0 loss to title contenders Fenerbahce recently, followed by a disappointing 4-0 defeat against Adana Demirspor.
Their defense struggled against Mario Balotelli, resulting in a brace and further goals from Belhanda and Aydogan.
Alanyaspor started the season on a positive note, with a 2-0 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir, but since then, they’ve had a six-game winless streak.
On the other hand, Fatih Karagumruk’s only victory this season came against Basaksehir.
Despite their competitiveness in subsequent matches, they have been unable to clinch a win. They faced a surprising 3-2 defeat against Kasimpasa in their last match.
Alanyaspor is currently 13th in the Super Lig standings, aiming to climb higher with a victory in this crucial match.
Meanwhile, Fatih Karagumruk, placed 15th, aims to improve and move up the rankings.

Alanyaspor might see changes in their attacking lineup following a lackluster performance in the last game.
Carlos Eduardo and Anderson could potentially start to boost the team’s offensive capabilities.
However, they’ll miss the experience of 33-year-old goalkeeper Ertugrul Taskiran due to a head injury.
Fatih Karagumruk is hoping for the return of Kevin Lasagna to bolster their lineup. They are considering starting Nazim Sangare and Valentin Eysseric based on their impactful performance in the last match.
