Efeler 09 Spor host Ayvalıkgücü Belediyespor in the Turkey Cup. The visitors have been winning far more regularly than the hosts across their recent league form.
These two aren't strangers to each other, having crossed paths several times in Group 4 of the third tier over the past year or so. That history hasn't been one-way traffic, even at this ground.

Form check: two very different runs
Efeler 09 Spor, who play most of this recent sample under the Söke 1970 name, have won just 6 of their last 20 matches, with 11 defeats and 27 goals scored against 32 conceded. It's been a shaky year defensively. That said, their last four outings - a draw, a cup win, a league win and a narrow loss - hint at some improvement since the new season started in September.
Efeler 09 Spor: 20 completed matches; Ayvalıkgücü Belediyespor: 20 completed matches.

Ayvalıkgücü Belediyespor's numbers over the same stretch look much healthier: 11 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses, with 34 scored and only 18 conceded. They were strong through the back half of last season's group stage before a mixed play-off run. Their start to this campaign has been fine too, aside from a 3-0 defeat away at Anadolu Üniversitesi shortly before this tie.
On the numbers alone, Ayvalıkgücü arrive with the stronger recent record.

Head-to-head: no one-way traffic
The last four meetings between these two go 3-1 in Ayvalıkgücü's favour, including a 4-0 win at Efeler 09 Spor's own ground back in October 2025. But the most recent clash, in March 2026, actually went the home side's way, a tight 1-0 win. So while Ayvalıkgücü hold the better overall record in this fixture, it hasn't been straightforward lately.

What to expect in a cup tie
This is a Turkey Cup fixture, which can bring a different feel compared to league games. Recent meetings between these sides have often been tight and low-scoring rather than open - three of the last four finished with two goals or fewer.
Given the home side's uneven form and the away side's stronger overall numbers but recent stumble on the road, there's no obvious favourite here. Cup ties like this can swing either way, especially with neither team's form being fully convincing right now.
Expect a competitive game rather than a formality for either side.

There's a reasonable case for Ayvalıkgücü given their season-long numbers, but the home side's recent uptick and their head-to-head win in March make this hard to call with any real conviction.
With no market reference to lean on either, we'll pass on this one rather than force a pick.
Who will win?
