Steffen Schmidt - September 1, 2023
Ankaragucu vs Fenerbahce
Turkish Super Lig
Date: 3 September 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Eryaman Stadyumu (Ankara).
Fenerbahce will visit Eryaman Stadyumu on Sunday evening, aiming to maintain their perfect record at the start of the new Super Lig campaign with a win over Ankaragucu.
The league’s joint-top scorers Efkan Bekiroglu and Edin Dzeko come across each other in this match. They’ve netted three goals each so far in the campaign, Dzeko doing so in just two appearances.
The Bosnian forward should have a nice chance to deliver the goods once again on Sunday knowing Ankaragucu shipped five goals in their three opening matches.
The team led by Tolunay Kakfas offered their best display of the season just last weekend in a 1-1 stalemate away at Fatih Karagumruk, limiting the rivals to just two shots on target in the 90 minutes of play.
Nonetheless, such a fine performance will most likely count for little when Ankaragucu come face to face with a star-studded Ajax team led by the likes of Edin Dzeko, Dusan Tadic, Cengiz Under, Michy Batshuayi, Irfan Kahveci, Sebastian Szymanski, etc.
Fener are flying high at the start of the season. They have won all seven competitive games this summer including a 5-1 drubbing of Twente in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League playoffs.
In terms of their Super Lug displays, Fener picked up wins over Gaziantep and Samsunspor, notching two goals in each.
Ankaragucu collected just two points in the opening three rounds of the season and they are now set to face one of the best teams in the league. Fener are on a seven-win streak and we have no other option but to back the visitors at the 1.66 odds here.
Edin Dzeko has three goals in two appearances in Super Lig. We like the 2.20 odds for the Bosnian forward to find the back of the net on Sunday.
