- Form: Alanyaspor are in better form than Eyupspor at this early stage of the season (W2, D2, L1 vs W2, D1, L2).
- Away form: Alanyaspor have drawn their only Süper Lig 2026/2027 away match so far (D1, L0).
- Home form: Eyupspor have lost their only home game so far in the new Süper Lig season (W0, D0, L1).
A tight, tense game likely in Turkiye
Eyupspor have made a poor start to their Süper Lig campaign, sitting 15th in the table with no points from two games (L2), but Alanyaspor are no further ahead in fifth, despite having taken four points from their first two (W1, D1, L0).
Eyupspor enter Sunday's matchup off the back of two straight losses, following consecutive Süper Lig 2026/2027 defeats to Besiktas and Gazisehir Gaziantep FK, while Alanyaspor are searching for their first away win after a single away trip (W0, D1).
Both coaches will try to take the game to Alanya
Eyupspor approach
Eyupspor will be looking to press Alanyaspor for much of the match, as their manager Ozhan Pulat has implemented a compact and intense 4-3-9 system, with the hosts pressing opponents with great intensity and energy, and then quickly transitioning into a good position at the other end.
Alanyaspor approach
Alanyaspor boss Joao Pereira will try to stretch Eyupspor out with a three-at-the-back system and wing-backs, giving them a structured and flexible shape that can hurt Eyupspor when they are out of position.
Don’t overestimate the home edge in this one
- The bookmakers have Alanyaspor as favourites at 2.22, just ahead of Eyupspor at 3.1 and the draw at 3.35, which seems about right considering that the visitors are in slightly better form.
- Eyupspor have the edge in the head-to-head, winning the last three meetings overall and the last meeting in the Süper Lig 2025/2026 by a 3-1 scoreline, but Alanyaspor are the form team and they'll be looking to take advantage.
Looking for an edge in a 50/50 game
Both teams have been involved in low-scoring games throughout this season, with Eyupspor allowing an average of just 1.0 goals per home game so far, while Alanyaspor have a record (W0, D1).
An under 2.5 goals bet at 1.8 looks like a solid angle for this tight and cagey game, as both sides will look to play their game, but will also respect the other's qualities.
Meschack Elia has chipped in with two goals in Alanyaspor's last five matches, while Florent Hadergjonaj has three assists in the same span, but Ruan is the early Süper Lig 2026/2027 top-scorer with one goal in one match, so he is our anytime goal scorer pick for the visitors.
