Two teams heavily embroiled in the fight for survival at the bottom end of the Turkish Super Lig table will do battle on Thursday, as Ankaragucu welcome Giresunspor to the Eryaman Stadium.
The visitors kept themselves out of the relegation places with a crucial victory over Sivasspor at the weekend but only lead Istanbulspor on goal difference, while their hosts are one point and one place better off heading into the pivotal contest.
We say: Ankaragucu 1-0 Giresunspor
Despite the final result, Ankaragucu certainly showed positive signs in their eventual defeat to Fenerbahce at the weekend, and with home advantage and confidence under their new boss heading into a crucial contest, we fancy them to come out on top on Thursday.

Trabzonspor will look to end a four-match winless run and climb back towards the top four in the Turkish Super Lig table on Thursday, when they travel to take on Sivasspor.
The defending champions currently sit sixth after a dip in form, while their hosts dropped to 13th spot after a disappointing defeat of their own at the weekend.
We say: Sivasspor 0-2 Trabzonspor
While Trabzonspor have failed to live up to their own standards this season and in recent weeks, they do still boast plenty of quality, and keen to improve their fortunes under new management, we fancy them to triumph on their travels over an inconsistent Sivasspor side.
