Trabzonspor can torment Ankaragucu in Turkey today

"The Black Sea Storm have scored 24 times in 10 home matches this term"

Back Trabzonspor -1.5 on the Asian Handicap @ 2.0811/10 v Ankaragucu

Ailing Ankaragucu will attract the wrong sort of attention at Medical Park Arena this afternoon, says Tobias Gourlay

Trabzonspor v Ankaragucu
Saturday 13:00

There were fireworks in Portugal last night as Rio Ave and Tondela served up a 2-2 draw that landed our goals bet. We're hoping to keep the party going in Turkey this afternoon.

If anyone's going to end up crying in the kitchen at this party, we reckon it'll be Ankaragucu. Promoted last season, the capital club have struggled this term. They've lost 11/19 matches at home and away, including each of the last five, and conceded more goals (34) than anyone else in the Super Lig. They've tried to stop the rot, but new coach Ismail Kartal's first two games have brought a 0-6 defeat at Galatasaray and a 0-2 loss hosting Alanyaspor.

Today's hosts are fifth-placed Trabzonspor. The Black Sea Storm have scored 24 times in 10 home matches this term (second only to Galatasaray) and we fancy they will beat their struggling visitors in this one. The home side have won 6/10 at Medical Park Arena, scoring at least twice in each of those six victories. In 5/6, the margin of victory was at least two goals and we reckon they can win with something to spare today.
