Eyupspor vs Antalyaspor prediction: Both sides to cancel each other out in dead rubber
Key stats
- Our Eyupspor vs Antalyaspor betting tips take into account that the hosts have lost each of their last five matches in the Super Lig.
- Antalyaspor have been consistently inconsistent of late, winning two, drawing two and losing two across their last six.
- Only bottom-of-the-table Adana Demirspor are on a longer losing run than Eyupspor in the Super Lig.
- Antalyaspor have taken just 10 points from a possible 51 in away matches so far this season, the fourth-worst tally in the division.
Correct score prediction: Eyupspor 0-0 Antalyaspor
As former teammates in the Turkey national team, Eyupspor manager Arda Turan and Antalyaspor boss Emre Belozoglu are both enduring underwhelming spells at present. This is set to be an end-of-season affair sorely lacking in quality, with neither side playing for anything but pride.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Eyupspor the slight favourites
- HOME: 10/11 (1.91) – 52.4%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 14/5 (3.80) – 26.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Give that the hosts have lost five matches in a row, it is something of a surprise to see them such clear favourites in the markets for this one, with an implied probability of 52.4% that they will come away with all three points.
Antalyaspor's struggles are not as alarming, but their attack has not been on form, with just two goals in five games, and under 2.5 goals in this match appears to be brilliant value at 12/11.

Most recent H2Hs: Hosts seeking to complete a league double
As a club with much higher stature in previous years, Antalyaspor were far too strong from Eyupspor in their Turkish Cup meeting in 2012, winning 7-0, before they got the better of the club from Istanbul again in the round of 32 in 2019-20 over two legs, winning 5-2, including 3-0 away from home.
Eyupspor avenged those scorelines earlier this season though, thrashing Antalyaspor 4-1 away from home, with Mame Thiam netting a brace that day.

Eyupspor preview: A few absentees for season finale
Given that there is an odd number of teams in the Super Lig, Eyupspor are the team whose season will end a week before everyone else, and they need a point in this one to ensure a top-six finish.
Melih Kabasakal is back from suspension for Turan's side, but former Galatasaray trio Leo Dubois, Fredrik Midtsjo and Sinan Gumus are out injured, along with Taskin Ilter.
Predicted Lineup: Ozer (GK), Bingol, Yalcin, Luccas Claro, Meras, Stepanenko, Kayan, Mor, Ampem, Thiam & Bozok

Antalyaspor preview: Nothing to play for in final two weeks
A steady flow of results mean Antalyaspor ended relegation fears a couple of weeks ago, meaning Emre's men can play without pressure in the final two weeks of the campaign.
The visitors are set to be without Erdogan Yesilyurt, Emre Uzun and Sander van de Streek due to injury, as well as goalkeeper Kenan Piric, so Abdullah Yigiter should deputise between the sticks again.
Predicted Lineup: Yigiter (GK), Balci, Sari, Ozturk, Thalisson Kelvin, Rakip, Dikmen, Safuri, Vural, Gaich & Kaluzinski

Player to watch: Mame Thiam
Eyupspor's surprise surge for Europe this season has been thanks largely to the goals Thiam has netted throughout the season, with the 32-year-old currently on 14 for the campaign, ranking him joint-seventh with Edin Dzeko.
Even though the goals have dried up slightly of late, Thiam was the thorn in Antalyaspor's side in the reverse fixture in January, and the Senegalese striker will hope he can replicate the brace he got that day.
