Alanyaspor vs Genclerbirligi prediction 09.03.2026 | Super Lig

Alanyaspor finished 12th last season. Sitting 11th now with 26 points from 24 games does not suggest dramatic progress. It feels more like steady survival mode.

The recent run has been rough. João Pereira’s side arrive on a three match losing streak. League defeats against Istanbul Basaksehir and Galatasaray hurt. Another loss to Galatasaray came in the cup earlier in the week.

Home form has not helped either. The Thunders lost four of the last five matches at Bahçeşehir Okulları Arena. That is unusual for a side that normally leans on home support.

Steve Mounie scored a late consolation against Galatasaray. Only his second league goal this season. Still, the Benin international is expected to lead the attack again.

In terms of availability, Ertuğrul Taşkıra misses the match with a knee problem. Ruan also remains out after picking up a bruise

Genclerbirligi returned to the Super Lig last season after four years away. Survival was always the first objective. That mission is still very much ongoing.

The Red-and-Blacks collected 24 points from 24 matches. That tally leaves Levent Şahin’s side hovering just four points above the drop zone. Every result now carries extra weight.

A bit of confidence arrived midweek. Genclerbirligi beat Aliaga 3–1 in the Turkish Cup, ending a five match winless run. Cup victories do not always translate to league success, but they can lift spirits.

Away form remains a concern though. Five defeats in the last six Super Lig road games tell a clear story. Cihan Çanak continues searching for his first goal since the January move from Trabzonspor. Metehan Mimaroğlu, who has four league goals, may support the attack.

Injury problems also complicate matters. Peter Etebo, Abdullah Şahindere, Moussa Kyabou, Emirhan Ünal and Berk Deniz Çukurcu are all ruled out.
