Genclerbirligi vs Amed Prediction & Betting Tips

Genclerbirligi's rocky start against Amed's fast one

Genclerbirligi's opening six Süper Lig games have been up and down. They picked up a home draw against Erzurumspor and a battling away win at Göztepe, but three defeats, including heavy losses at home to Trabzonspor and away at Başakşehir, have left them well off the early pace.

Genclerbirligi: 20 completed matches; Amed: 20 completed matches.

Amed, by contrast, have barely put a foot wrong. They've won four of their first six top-flight matches, including comfortable home wins over Beşiktaş, Başakşehir, Trabzonspor and Erzurumspor. Their only blemishes are a draw away at Kasımpaşa and a defeat at Kocaelispor.

Worth noting that every one of Amed's four wins has come on home turf. Their away form so far is limited to that draw and that loss.

Comparative Team Statistics: Genclerbirligi vs Amed

Recent meetings have been tight

The last two competitive meetings between these sides, both in the second tier last season, ended 1-1. There are two much older cup results on record too, hefty wins in either direction, but they're from a different era for both clubs and carry little weight now.

Recent history points to competitive, closely fought contests rather than one-sided ones, at least from when both were in the same division.

Early Süper Lig table

After six rounds, Amed sit top of the Süper Lig, boasting the division's most eye-catching goal difference among these two. Genclerbirligi, meanwhile, are down in thirteenth, already having lost half their opening games.

Orban leading the way for Amed

Gabriel Orban has been the standout individual heading into this one, scoring seven goals in his first six Süper Lig appearances for Amed. Krasniqi has chipped in with assists as well as goals, giving Amed more than one route to threaten.

On the disciplinary side, both Krasniqi and Genclerbirligi's Diabate have picked up three yellow cards apiece in their opening six games. That's more a sign these have been feisty, competitive fixtures than proof either is close to a ban.
