Alanyaspor will start its Super Lig season of 23/24 with an opening-day fixture against Istanbul Basaksehir. The Grey Owls will journey to the Kirbiyik Holding Stadium where they have failed to win any of their last six visits since October 2016. Istanbul will be looking to end this poor record.
Omer Erdogan’s men went into the season off the back of a successful 2021-22 campaign. Alanyaspor finished fifth in the table. They only miss out on a place in Europe by just one point. However, they lost 17 of their 36 league matches while claiming 11 wins and eight draws. This accumulated 40 points. This is their lowest point tally since the 2017-18 season. Alanyaspor head into the new campaign off the back of a decent pre-season. They picked up successive wins over Caykur Rizespor and Konyaspor in their opening two friendlies before losing twice and claiming two draws in their subsequent four games. The home side will be backing themselves to start the season on a positive note.
Istanbul Basaksehir, on the other hand, enjoyed a decent 2022-23 campaign as they finished fifth in the Super Lig standings. The Grey Owls also reached the final of the Turkish Cup. Istanbul picked up 18 wins in their 36 league matches while losing 10 and claiming eight draws. This accumulated around 62 points. Emre Belozoglu’s men also beat Basaksehir FK and Galatasaray to reach the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup. However, their dreams of a first-ever cup success came to an end in the final where they fell to a 2-0 loss against Fenerbache. Istanbul Basaksehir capped off a decent pre-season campaign in style as they thrashed second-tier Eyupspor 3-1. With this start of a new season, the Grey Owl’s Cup dreams will also be renewed.
