Alanyaspor vs Kasimpasa

A mid-table Turkish Super Lig encounter pits Alanyaspor and Kasimpasa against each other at the Kırbıyık Holding Stadyumu.

With both sides condemned to a mid-table finish regardless of the outcome, the bragging rights are at stake for 10th-placed Alanyaspor, who are seeking a third consecutive top-half finish in the Super Lig. It’s been ‘all or nothing’ for the home side since an action-packed 2-2 draw at Giresunspor in early April, with none of their eight league fixtures since ending level (W4, L4). High scoring has been a common theme in Alanyspor’s recent top-flight matches, as nine out of their last ten have contained over 2.5 total goals, highlighting the potential for a goal-glutted affair. But after alternating between losing (4) and winning (3) across their last seven home league games, Omer Erdogan’s men can find themselves on either end of a high-scoring clash.

One point below their hosts at the beginning of this matchday, Kasimpasa are looking to take all three points and Alanyaspor’s place in the standings, which would see them better last season’s 11th-place finish. After an underwhelming four-match winless league run (D2, L2), the visitors have won their last two outings via a single-goal margin following a scoreless halftime. But before claiming a 2-1 win at Sivasspor on their most recent Super Lig travel, Kasimpasa had gone three straight away league outings without scoring (D1, L2), which was the case in this corresponding fixture in 2021/22 (0-2). That defeat forms part of Kasimpasa’s disappointing four-game away form against Alanyspor in the Super Lig (W1, L3).
