Fatih Karagümrük v Antalyaspor: survival bid meets mid-table reset | OneFootball

Fatih Karagümrük host Antalyaspor in the Süper Lig on Saturday at the Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadı, with the bottom club chasing crucial points against 13th-placed visitors aiming to steady their campaign.

Karagümrük have nine points from 20 matches and one home win, while Antalyaspor are on 20 points with three victories on the road. The recent head to head leans the hosts' way: Karagümrük have won two of the last three league meetings, including a 2–1 success away in August 2025.

Form favours the visitors. Karagümrük are winless in their last five league outings, one draw followed by four defeats, losing to Başakşehir, Galatasaray and Göztepe. Antalyaspor drew with Trabzonspor after beating Gençlerbirliği, and also held Kasımpaşa, though they suffered a heavy Türkiye Kupası defeat at Iğdır.

Team news matters. Karagümrük forward João Camacho is out injured. Antalyaspor are without midfielders Erdoğan Yeşilyurt and Abdülkadir Ömür through injury, trimming Sami Uğurlu's options in the middle of the pitch.

Tactically, the hosts have struggled: 17 goals scored and 39 conceded with just one clean sheet, and they have been caught offside 51 times. Their cutting edge may rest with David Datro Fofana, who has six league goals. Antalyaspor bring five clean sheets and a sharp 49.24% shooting accuracy from 132 attempts. With five headed goals and 26.37% cross accuracy, deliveries from wide could be a route they look to exploit.

A home win would move Karagümrük to 12 points and could tighten the relegation fight. Victory for Antalyaspor would take them to 23 points and may nudge them up the table towards mid-table security.
