As the Turkish championship slowly draws to a close, the race for a place leading to Europe is becoming increasingly interesting. As many as 7 teams have good reasons why they believe they can qualify for the Champions League, and if they fail to do so, at least qualify for the Conference League. The second on the table, which is also the position that guarantees participation in the Champions League qualifiers, Konyaspor, has 49 points, and the team in eighth place on the table has only 7 points less. One of the teams that certainly has a good chance of winning matches in Europe next season is certainly Adana. Today, they will play against Yeni Malatyaspor, in which they will definitely play the role of favorites. 

But let's start with the hosts first. They are in the last position on the table and without any dilemma, next year they will play in the second league of Turkish football. If we look at their performance this season, what awaits them is well deserved. By all the parameters we can use, they are by far the worst team in the league. They scored the fewest and conceded the most goals in the league, have the most defeats in the league and only four wins in the 27 rounds played so far. Their form in the last 15 games is really catastrophic. They did not manage to record any victories, and they recorded as many as 10 defeats. It is clear that with this approach to the game, they don't have much to look for against the playful Adana.

After entering the first league this season, few expected Adana to succeed like this. In addition to the undisputed Trabzonspor, Adana is the team that is in the best form in the entire league. After Trabzon, they scored the most goals in the league, and on average they concede only one goal per match, which is more than good by Turkish league standards. Adana has a team for every respect this year, so the results are not so surprising. The team is composed of a large number of experienced and quality players, of which the most famous is certainly the name Mario Balotteli. In addition to him, the team also includes the great Younes Belhanda, the long-time Turkish national team player Gokhan Inler and the great striker Assombalong. It is Balotelli and Assombalonga who are most responsible for Adana's efficient game, as they have scored 20 goals so far. Adana managed to score 13 points out of a possible 15 in last give games and it is clear in what form the team is currently. Winning today's match would further strengthen their position in the table and, depending on the results of other teams, they could even reach third place in the table. I expect complete dominance of the guests in today's match and over 2.5 goals, which we are certainly used to in the Turkish league. 

Prediction: Adana to win 3-0
