Preview: Umraniyespor vs. Fatih Karagumruk - prediction, team news, lineups

sportsmole.co.uk, 20 October 2022, 13:37
Umraniyespor will attempt to record their first win of the season when they host Fatih Karagumruk on Saturday.

The home side sit bottom of the Turkish Super Lig, while the visitors head into the weekend in 13th with nine points to their name.

Match preview

After securing promotion last season, Umraniyespor have struggled to adapt to the top flight in their maiden Turkish Super Lig campaign.

They have three points to their name after nine matches, although their draw with Kayserispor last time out ended a streak of back-to-back defeats.

Miguel Cardoso put Kayserispor ahead before strikes from Umut Nayir and Tomislav Glumac turned the game around, and gave Recep Ucar's side the lead.

Bernard Mensah then levelled proceedings from the penalty spot to deny Umraniyespor their first win of the season at the ninth time of asking.

The result did mark Umraniyespor's first point at home this season however, after losing their opening four games on their own turf, and they will be aiming to build on it here.

Meanwhile, Fatih Karagumruk claimed their second win of the season over Hatayspor last time out, ending a run of two consecutive defeats.

Goals in the first half from Steven Caulker and Fabio Borini, combined with Mbaye Diagne's late penalty, secured the three points for Andrea Pirlo's men.

Pirlo will also be thrilled with his side's defensive performance in that clash, as they kept a clean sheet and did not allow Hatayspor to have a shot on target - a stark contrast from their display away at Fenerbahce the week prior, when the Yellow Canaries shipped five goals.

The victory over Hatayspor has lifted Pirlo's side out of the relegation places and into the 13th, although they are only two points clear of Antalyaspor in 16th therefore they could slip back into the danger zone if results go against them this weekend.

Team News

Tomislav Glumac will be suspended for this game as he was sent off in the closing moments of the draw with Kayserispor.

Isaac Sackey is also suspended after an accumulation of yellow cards.

Goalkeeper Serkan Kirintili is a doubt for the hosts after missing the last four matches due to a shoulder issue.

Meanwhile, Efe Tatli remains on the treatment table for the visitors, while Rayyan Baniya, Matteo Ricci and Colin Kazim-Richards all remain doubts.

Burak Kapacak and Ebrima Colley also look set to miss out here with muscle injuries.

Umraniyespor possible starting lineup:

Ozdemir; Popov, Allyson, Eser, Lenjani; Ayik, Avounou, Yilmaz, Goksu, Geraldo; Nayir

Fatih Karagumruk possible starting lineup:

Viviano; Biraschi, Caulker, Dresevic, Erkin; Nicholas, Ozdoev, Durmaz; Kouassi, Borini, Frei

We say: Umraniyespor 1-2 Fatih Karagumruk

Although Umraniyespor ended their four-match losing streak at home last time out, we still do not think they will have enough to pick up their first win of the season here.
