In the final match of the Turkish Cup, Antalyaspor and Besiktas will meet. Who will win the trophy?
"Antalyaspor"
"Antalyaspor" excellently coped with the previous barriers of the Turkish Cup, without conceding a single goal. In total, the club played five matches, starting the path to the trophy from the 1/32 final stage. First, he managed to defeat Pendikspor (2-0), then defeated Boluspor (1-0), then defeated Bursaspor (3-0), broke the resistance of Sivasspor (1-0) and knocked Alanyaspor (2-0) out of the tournament in the semifinals. Nine goals scored, and in the final match you can not only reach the anniversary mark, but also win the trophy without conceding goals - an honorable achievement.
"Besiktas"
"Besiktas" has a chance to get a golden double, because it still retained the first place in the Turkish Super League, although it did it in a very nervous environment - it lost in two of the last three rounds, scored 84 points, like Galatasaray, but was higher due to face-to-face battles. As for the cup battles, it was not without problems: in 1/16 "eagles" beat 3-1 "Tarsus", in 1/8 minimally coped with "Rizespor" (1-0), and in the next two stages had to worry both themselves and the fans: in the quarterfinals passed "Konyaspor" only due to a penalty shootout - 1:1 in the game, 3:2 on penalties, and in the semifinals broke the resistance of "Basaksehir" only in the quarter-finals.in the second half, he scored the winning goal only in the 102nd minute - the main time ended with the result 2:2.
Statistics and figures:
- "Antalyaspor" in the current draw of the Turkish Cup has not yet missed;
- "Besiktas" started from the 1/16 final and managed to achieve victories in all ways: twice in regular time, once in a penalty shootout and once in extra-time;
- During the championship, Antalyaspor and Besiktas have twice parted ways-1:1 each.
Forecast
I bet that Antalyaspor will score. "Besiktas" passed at the end of the season, becoming the champion thanks to a decent margin created before the final segment. And in the Cup, the "eagles" did not stand out with confidence, three times being on the verge of relegation.
