In the 18th round of the Turkish Süper Lig, there is an upcoming clash between Adana Demirspor and Antalyaspor.
The game is scheduled to be held at the Yeni Adana Stadium on Sunday, December 24, with the kickoff set for 14:00 Central European Time.
Adana Demirspor has had a decent performance in the first half of the season and is in serious contention for a spot in European competitions next year.
After 16 matches, Demirspor has collected 24 points, securing them the sixth position in the league table. However, their recent form has been less impressive, as they haven’t secured a victory in the Süper Lig since the end of October. It’s worth noting that during this period, they’ve only suffered two defeats, with most matches ending in draws.
Antalyaspor can also boast of commendable results and currently sits just behind their upcoming opponent in the league table, trailing Demirspor only on the basis of goal difference.
The team has only faced four defeats so far, and they are just five points behind the third spot in the league. Polish forward Adam Buksa, on loan from Lorient, has been a standout player with eight goals to his name, ranking sixth in the league’s list of top scorers.
Key Facts:
- Adana Demirspor has conceded goals in just one of their last five home matches.
- Antalyaspor is on an impressive unbeaten streak of nine matches.
- In the last three head-to-head encounters, Antalyaspor has failed to score against Demirspor.
This match features two closely positioned teams in the league table. While the guests have a good chance of success, I anticipate a match with fewer than 3.5 total goals.
