Trabzonspor are aiming to regain top spot in the Super Lig when they host Ankaragucu on Saturday night. The hosts slipped to second place in the table, two points behind Istanbul Basaksehir, after drawing away to Alanyaspor on Monday. They remain four points ahead of third-placed Sivasspor, a close enough distance to emphasis the competitiveness of this title race. Ankaragucu are bottom of the table but relegation is by no means a certainty despite this late stage of the season. They are four points from safety and have six games to make up that deficit and stay in the top flight. However, it seems highly unlikely that they will pick up any points at Trabzonspor. Ankaragucu have lost seven of their 14 away games, winning only two. They come up against a team that has won nine of their 14 home games, five of which came in their last six home games. Trabzonspor are the most prolific scorers in the Super Lig and will likely relish the opportunity to take on an Ankaragucu defence that has failed to keep a clean sheet in seven games. The third-weakest defence in the division, they crumbled in a 3-0 home defeat the last time these teams faced off. 

A Trabzonspor win is likely and the bookies know this. The low odds reflect the high probability that they will collect three points against the side anchored in the abyss of the relegation zone. The bet to stick on here will focus on the manner of a Trabzonspor win. They have scored in both the first and second half of their last three games. Ankaragucu have lost four of their last six matches but the margin of defeat on three of those occasions was a solitary goal. We could potentially see both teams scoring here as the favourites have been leaky of late, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last eight matches. Back both teams to score and Trabzonspor to win the game.
