Critical week for MKE Ankaragücü: They could be relegated for the 6th time...

MKE Ankaragücü will face Trabzonspor away tomorrow in the 38th and final week of the Super Lig, fighting to remain in the league.

The match, which will start at 19:00 at Papara Park, will be officiated by referee Atilla Karaoğlan. Trabzonspor fans will not be able to attend due to a ban. MKE Ankaragücü fans, however, will be able to support their team from the away section.

In the 37 weeks played so far, MKE Ankaragücü has recorded 8 wins, 16 draws, and 13 losses, entering the final week in 16th place with 40 points, one spot above the relegation zone.

If the yellow-navy team defeats Trabzonspor away, they will guarantee their spot in the Super Lig regardless of the results of other matches. If MKE Ankaragücü drops points, they will have to wait for the result of the Atakaş Hatayspor-Çaykur Rizespor match.

If Atakaş Hatayspor, who are in 17th place and 2 points behind MKE Ankaragücü, defeats Çaykur Rizespor, and the yellow-navy team fails to win in Trabzon, the capital city team will be relegated.

Pedrinho, who is suspended due to a yellow card, will not be able to play for MKE Ankaragücü in this match.

In Trabzonspor, which has already secured a 3rd place finish in the Super Lig and lost 3-2 to Beşiktaş in the Ziraat Turkish Cup final, Uğurcan Çakır and Batista Mendy will not be able to play against MKE Ankaragücü due to yellow card suspensions.

Trabzonspor won the first leg of the season between the two teams in Ankara 1-0.

RELEGATION DANGER

MKE Ankaragücü, the 4th club with the most appearances in the Super Lig, is once again facing the danger of relegation in its history.

The capital city team, which is the team that has competed the most in the Super Lig after Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe, and Beşiktaş, has been in this organization for 54 of the 65-year history of the league.

The capital city team, which has shown an inconsistent performance in recent years, will experience the sadness of relegation for the 6th time if they cannot get the result they want tomorrow. MKE Ankaragücü was relegated in the 1967-1968, 1975-1976, 1977-1978, 2011-2012, and 2020-2021 seasons.

In the 2019-2020 season, the capital city team finished the Super Lig in last place but remained in the league after the TFF abolished relegation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

WINLESS IN 12 AWAY MATCHES

MKE Ankaragücü has not been able to win away for 6 months.

Having taken their last away win on November 25 with a 1-0 result against Gaziantep FK, MKE Ankaragücü has since recorded 6 losses and 5 draws in the 11 away matches they played in the Super Lig.

During this period, the yellow-navy team also lost 1-0 away to Beşiktaş in the Ziraat Turkish Cup.

WINLESS IN THE LEAGUE FOR 14 YEARS, AWAY FOR 17 YEARS

MKE Ankaragücü has not been able to defeat Trabzonspor in the Super Lig for 14 years, and away for 17 years.

The yellow-navy team took their last league win against their opponent on May 1, 2010, with a 1-0 score in Ankara. Since that date, Trabzonspor has won 9 of the 13 league matches played, while 4 matches ended in a draw.

The capital city team achieved their last victory against their opponent in Trabzon on March 18, 2007. The yellow-navy team, which beat their opponent 1-0 away on that date, has since recorded 6 losses and 3 draws in the 9 away matches played over 17 years.
