Tips and Prediction

Adana Demirspor’s recovery after Qatar 2022 saw them suffer their first loss outside of friendlies since the end of August after going undefeated in each of their previous 12 games across all competitions.

On Thursday, they overcame a two-goal deficit against cup rivals Rizespor, and an own goal by their guests in the late minute extended the Fifth Round match to a further 30 minutes. Adana Demir were finally defeated at the conclusion of a thrilling game, and any hopes of winning a maiden Turkish Cup were dashed despite Yusuf Sari’s late goal.

However, after finishing the opening stage of their league season with a 0-0 draw away at Alanyaspor, Only five points separate the Blue Lightning from leaders Fenerbahce after they have lost just one of their 13 Super Lig games this year.

The distance might have been smaller had Montella’s team not gone on a run of five straight draws in league play, but they are still unbeaten at home in the Turkish top tier this season.

After losing their first two friendlies earlier this month, their subsequent victory was followed by draws with Galatasaray and Montella’s previous team Sampdoria, so the former Milan coach will be looking to stop his team’s downward trend on Sunday.

During the second half of his debut Super Lig campaign, which begins on Sunday against his former Azzurri teammate Montella, Pirlo will undoubtedly want more from an experienced Karagumruk group.

Conclusion

Adana Demirspor are difficult to beat in the Super Lig and have so far gone undefeated at home, despite their frustration at their failure to convert draws into victories. As Turkey’s top division returns, it’s possible that the hosts win because Karagumruk haven’t won under Pirlo’s guidance.
