Akhisar Belediyespor - Tuzlaspor Football prediction

Akhisarspor are having big financial problems. Many players left the team. And a few more are likely to leave soon because of unpaid wages. Currently the best lineup they could field is: Lukac, Vrsajevic, Alperen Babacan, Rotman, Kadir Keleş, Ali Kaan Güneren, Taha Yalçıner, Çekdar Orhan, Bjarnason, Bertuğ Bayar, Irfan Hadzic. Half of the ideal lineup is gone alongwith some bench players. Some of those players in my probable lineup are out of positions because they don't have first-team players on those positions. In addition to this probable lineup, they have 25 years old midfielder Onurcan Guler who was playing in 2nd division last season and has never been considered as a part of Akhisarspor. Maybe he will start today. Apart from Onurcan, all other bench players would be U21 players. In fact, they already have some young players in this lineup but I don't want to get into details too much. 

Akhisar also lost their coach Yilmaz Vural as he left the team after play-off. They appointed local coach Cem Kavcak. He managed Akhisarspor for a while before but he was managing a 3rd league team last season, it is his level, not 1st league.

Tuzlaspor are a newcomer in 1st league and they changed whole squad. They signed many good players for 1st league level like Segbefia, Aykut Ceviker (from Akhisarspor), Ferhat Oztorun, Vedat Bora, Haydar Yılmaz, Ozgurcan Ozcan, Erdem Ozgenc, Yasin Gureler, Tarık Tekdal are good local league signings. And they also signed some foreign players. When I look at Tuzlaspor squad, I see so many good enough players for this league's level. Of course, newly built teams may require time but the quality is definitely on away side.

I think this is an equal game at most, if Tuzlaspor are not the favourite. I put my money on away side.

Reminder: All games in Turkey are being played without fans.
