Preview: Adana Demirspor vs. Pendikspor - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Saturday's Turkish Super Lig clash between Adana Demirspor and Pendikspor, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Adana Demirspor will attempt to maintain their unbeaten start to the Turkish Super Lig season when they welcome Pendikspor to Yeni Adana Stadium.

The visitors, meanwhile, have experienced a steady start to their first-ever top-flight campaign, having drawn three and lost one of their opening four matches.


Match preview

Despite securing European football for the first time in Adana Demirspor's history, Vincenzo Montella opted against renewing his contract, ensuring that the club began the 2023-24 campaign with a new manager at the helm.

Patrick Kluivert was the candidate chosen as Montella's replacement, and the Dutchman has experienced a tumultuous start to his time in charge.

After leading the club through their first two ties of Europa Conference League qualifying, Kluivert was unable to navigate his side past one final hurdle, as they narrowly missed out on a group-stage place following a penalty shootout defeat to Genk.

Kluivert can at least be pleased with the fact that Adana Demispor are yet to lose a league game this season after they followed a 2-1 win over Caykur Rizespor with consecutive draws against Ankaragucu and Hatayspor.

Having found the net in each of their last 13 league games, Adana Demirspor will look to continue their impressive goalscoring in Saturday's meeting with Pendikspor.

Meanwhile, the visitors are competing in the Turkish Super Lig for the first time in their history after winning promotion via the playoffs.

Although they are still waiting for their first top-flight victory, Pendikspor will be content with the start that they have made to the new campaign.

After being thrashed 5-1 by Hatayspor in their season opener, Pendikspor showed great character to bounce back with a 1-1 draw in their away meeting with Besiktas.

Since that result, they have managed to replicate that 1-1 scoreline against Kasimpasa and Alanyaspor, taking their tally to three points.

Having scored the first goal in just one of their opening four games, Osman Ozkoylu will be challenging his side to start Saturday's encounter on the front foot.

Team News

Adana Demirspor have made a number of additions to their squad in the final two weeks of the transfer window, having signed Shahrudin Mahammadaliyev, Arber Zeneli and Florent Shehu.

While the hosts have strengthened their squad, they have lost the services of Cherif Ndiaye, who completed a move to Red Star after scoring five goals in eight appearances for Adana Demirspor this term.

With Ndiaye no longer part of Kluivert's squad, M'Baye Niang may be given the chance to lead the line for Saturday's contest.

As for the visitors, Fredrik Midtsjo could be presented with his Pendikspor debut after he completed a move from Galatasaray.

Having found the net on two occasions in his first four appearances for the club, Oscar Romero represents one of Pendikspor's main goal threats.

Brazilian striker Thuram will start up front for the fifth consecutive game as he looks to add to the goal that he scored in the season opener against Hatayspor.


Adana Demirspor possible starting lineup:
Ozbir; Svensson, Gravillon, Guler, Rodrigues; Akbaba, Stambouli; Sari, Belhanda, Akintola, Niang

Pendikspor possible starting lineup:
Canpolat; Kaya, Welinton, Tzavellas, Sequeira; Vukovic, Lusamba; Diaby, Romero, Akbunar; Thuram

We say: Adana Demirspor 2-1 Pendikspor

Pendikspor have proven to be a tough team to beat in recent weeks, but we think that their flurry of draws will be brought to an end by Adana Demirspor, who are targeting their second league win of the season.
