:Headline: Preview: Fatih Karagumruk vs. Alanyaspor - prediction, team news, lineups:
Sports Mole previews Sunday's Turkish Super Lig clash between Fatih Karagumruk and Alanyaspor, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

Fatih Karagumruk, who sit in eighth place, will wrap up the Super Lig season with a home contest against top-four hopefuls Alanyaspor.

The visitors enter the final matchday just a point behind the European places, and a positive result on Sunday could move them into the top four.


Match preview

The hosts are guaranteed to finish no lower than eighth position, but they still have the opportunity to move up a couple of places on the final weekend of the season.

A sixth-placed finish is still a possibility if Fatih Karagumruk win and teams above them drop points in their respective fixtures.

Even if Fatith Karagumruk finish in eighth spot for the second reason in a row, they can be pleased with their efforts since winning promotion to the top-flight in 2020.

Volkan Demirel's side are currently enjoying a six-game unbeaten run, although they were denied a fourth consecutive victory last weekend when Fenerbahce held them to a goalless draw.

Three points may not have been forthcoming against Fenerbahce, but Sunday's hosts will be confident that they can finish the season with a victory after winning their last four home matches.

Alanyaspor, meanwhile, enter Sunday's contest within touching distance of a top-four place in the Super Lig.

After 34 matches, Alanyaspor were five points adrift of the top four, with their hopes of a European finish hanging by a thread.

However, three consecutive league wins - including a 3-0 win over Gaziantep last weekend - has helped Sunday's visitors reduce the gap to just a single point.

Their encounter with Gaziantep remained goalless at the break before Famara Diedhiou broke the deadlock on the hour mark, and a goal apiece for second-half substitutes Wilson Eduardo and Daniel Candeias ensured that Alanyaspor clinched the three points.

They will now be hoping to better Istanbul Basaksehir's result on Sunday as they bid to qualify for European competition for the second time in the last three seasons.

Team News

Ervin Zukanovic, Rayyan Baniya and Kerim Frei are all sidelined for the hosts due to injury issues.

Kristijan Bistrovic will keep his place in midfield after returning to the starting lineup for the away meetings with Fenerbahce.

Meanwhile, Aleksandar Pesic will provide the goal threat for Fatih Karagumruk after scoring 14 league goals this season.

As for the visitors, Nemanja Milunovic and Tayfur Bingol missed the 3-0 victory over Gaziantep, and injury problems are expected to prevent them from featuring on Sunday.

Alanyaspor will be forced into a couple of changes, with Emre Akbaba and Efkan Bekiroglu suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Those suspensions could open the door for Candeias and Eduardo to be given starting spots after the pair grabbed a goal apiece last weekend.

Fatih Karagumruk possible starting lineup:
Viviano; Biraschi, Bekaroglu, Luckassen, Erkin; Mor, Bistrovic, Biglia, Mercan, Musa; Pesic

Alanyaspor possible starting lineup:
Marafona; Juanfran, Bayir, Aksoy, Borja; Gunes, Fer; Karaca, Candeias, Bekiroglu; Diedhiou


We say: Fatih Karagumruk 1-2 Alanyaspor

Alanyaspor will be waiting in the wings for any slip ups from Istanbul Basaksehir, and with a top-four finish within their reach, we think that the visitors will utilise that extra motivation to clinch a fourth consecutive league victory.
