Competition: Turkish cup
Market: Alanyaspor win
Chances: 1/2 @BetUS
Hoping to complete back-to-back Turkish Cup victories on Tuesday morning, Alanyaspor welcome Karagumruk to the Gain Park Stadium.
Starting with the hosts, while Alanyaspor might still be in the bottom half of the Super Lig table, Joao Pereira’s men enjoyed what was a real turn in fortunes ahead of Turkey’s winter break. The Thunders, last seen closing out 2025 with a routine 2-0 win against Tuesday’s guests, will demand a repeat appearance at Gain Park Stadium. With the mood in Pereira’s camp at an all-time high, the Blacks will be confident of opening the new year with a new statement of intent. While they started their Turkish Cup adventure with a heavyweight scalp as they recorded a 1-0 win at Trabzonspor, the former Sporting Lisbon coach has not seen his side suffer a single defeat in any of their previous seven outings in all competitions – a purple patch dating back to November 23. It should also be emphasized that Alanyaspor will also be excited about their great defensive steel. Pereira’s team, which was presented as a striking contender on Tuesday morning, has remarkably not conceded a single goal in almost 540 minutes of play.
As for the visitors, while Karagumruk may only have made their famous return to the Super Lig this season, it is no secret that the Istanbul team are considered a crushing relegation candidate in 2026. With just nine points on the board from any of their 17 clashes against top opponents and still waiting for a permanent replacement since the departure of Marcel Licka in October, Tuesday’s guests sit bottom in the Super Lig standings. In addition to failing to secure a victory over top-level opposition since returning from the November international break, Karagumruk also showed some glaring issues in the final third. They ended the year 2025 with that 2-0 away defeat at Alanyaspor, having recorded consecutive clean sheets and also registering just one goal in over 360 minutes of action. Given the recent huge gap in class between Tuesday’s opponents, we’re backing a home win at Gain Park Stadium.
