Antalyaspor is set to host Alanyaspor at the Antalya Stadyumu in a critical Super Lig encounter. Positioned 14th, just above the relegation zone, the Scorpions are desperate for a win in this important Mediterranean derby to gain some breathing room. Their opponents, Alanyaspor, sit five points higher in 12th place, enjoying a relatively safer position.

Under the management of Sami Ugurlu, Antalyaspor had hoped for a better season after finishing 15th in 2024-25. However, with only one victory in their last seven league fixtures and three consecutive defeats, the team finds itself once again battling to avoid relegation. With three matches remaining, Antalyaspor is only outside the bottom three on goal difference.

Following a 2-0 defeat to Goztepe SK in their last outing, it is imperative for Antalyaspor to get back on track in this fixture. Despite holding one of the league's worst home records, the club has managed to collect eight points from their most recent six home games, signaling a potential turnaround at the Antalya Stadyumu.

Meanwhile, visitors Alanyaspor boast one of European football's most unusual away records. Joao Pereira's side has drawn 10 of their 15 away encounters, with their sole victory coming against Konyaspor all the way back on September 13.

Despite failing to win in four games, Alanyaspor remains five points clear of the bottom three. Having recently suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Samsunspor and being knocked out of the Turkish Cup by Besiktas, the team has conceded three goals in successive matches. This highlights defensive vulnerabilities that they must address against Antalyaspor.

This crucial match will play a significant role in determining both teams' league standings. For Antalyaspor, a victory would alleviate some of their relegation fears, while for Alanyaspor, it would keep their hopes of climbing higher in the table alive. The game is scheduled for May 3, 2026, at the Antalya Stadyumu.
