Çorum Belediyespor vs Alanyaspor – News and Probable Lineups

Çorum Belediyespor will host Alanyaspor at Corum Sehir Stadyumu this Saturday for the sixth round of the Turkish Super Lig. The home team, newly promoted, aims to build upon their impressive form after achieving two consecutive victories.

The hosts have netted a total of eight goals across their last two fixtures, including a 5-1 victory on the road against Samsunspor last weekend. In contrast, the visitors arrive with an unbeaten streak in their last two matches, currently sitting eighth with eight points from their first five encounters.

Match overview

Corum has quickly transformed the atmosphere surrounding their inaugural Super Lig season, bouncing back from their first three matches with a pair of wins against Eyupspor and Samsunspor.

The Red Lightnings had already exhibited glimpses of their potential on the opening day, where they managed to earn a draw against champions Galatasaray with a late goal. However, back-to-back defeats to Kasimpasa (1-0) and Besiktas (6-2) threatened to derail their campaign.

They rebounded with a 3-0 home win over Eyupspor, marking the club’s first triumph in the Turkish elite division, which they followed up with an emphatic 5-1 victory over Samsunspor just six days later.

In that match against Samsun, Jesus Ramirez opened the scoring for the visitors within just one minute, and although Logi Tomasson equalized shortly after, Cengiz Under scored twice within a five-minute span to restore Corum’s lead, with Alexandros Kyziridis and Ramirez adding further goals after halftime.

Now, they are looking to secure their third straight league win as they face Alanyaspor for the first time in league play. Their only previous encounter occurred in the Turkish Cup in December 2025, where Alanyaspor triumphed with a 5-0 rout at Corum Sehir Stadyumu.

On the other hand, Alanyaspor has had a more stable start to their season, having already beaten Besiktas and earning points from matches against Gaziantep and Goztepe.

The only setback for them came during their away match against Eyupspor, where they lost 2-1. However, noteworthy results include a 1-1 draw against Gaziantep and a 1-0 win at Caykur Rizespor, placing Joao Pereira’s squad at eight points from five games.

Last weekend, the visitors settled for another draw, salvaging a point in a 2-2 clash with Goztepe, where Rhaldney opened the scoring before Paolo Fernandes equalized in the 63rd minute.

Juan returned Goztepe to the lead via a penalty ten minutes later, but Gaius Makouta equalized again in the 75th minute with an assist from Ianis Hagi.

This comeback showcases Alanyaspor’s attacking fortitude, but Pereira will be wary of having to chase matches against a Corum side capable of capitalizing on defensive errors swiftly.

The hosts have found the net within the first 15 minutes in their last two wins, indicating a need for Alanyaspor’s backline to be particularly vigilant from the outset.

Moreover, Alanyaspor has demonstrated that they can be effective on the road, winning their recent fixture against Rizespor. They have gained four points from a potential nine on their travels thus far, with a draw against Gaziantep and their sole away defeat occurring at Eyupspor.

Team News

Prior to the match, Corum reports no significant confirmed absences. Ucar is anticipated to stick with the 4-1-4-1 formation that has yielded consecutive victories, as both of their last starting lineups employed this setup.

Under is likely to continue on the right flank following his brace against Samsunspor, while Ramirez will lead the attack after netting two goals in the same match.

Youssoufa Moukoko remains an alternative for Ucar after making a substitute appearance against Eyupspor, while Ermin Mahmic will hope that his goal from the bench earns him increased playing time.

Alanyaspor will miss Maestro, who is recovering from a muscle injury and is not expected back until later in September, leaving Makouta and Baran Ali Gezek as options in central midfield.

Hagi, who came off the bench against Goztepe, made an immediate impact with an assist for Makouta’s goal, so Pereira may assess giving the Romanian a starting place in this match.

Ui-Jo Hwang is also anticipated to provide attacking options from the bench after featuring late in the draw with Goztepe.

Çorum Belediyespor probable starting XI:

Felipe; Sazdagi, Saatci, Smolcic, Borza; Ramadan; Under, Diomande, Fredy, Kyziridis; Ramirez

Alanyaspor probable starting XI:

Victor; Lima, Aliti, Aksoy; Hadergjonaj, Makouta, Gezek, Ruan; Fernandes, Elia, Ben Ali

Corum’s recent offensive capabilities make them a challenging opponent at home, particularly after netting eight goals in their previous two games, five of which came against Samsunspor.

Alanyaspor possesses sufficient attacking quality to make it a competitive fixture, but the home advantage and the sharpness of the hosts’ offense may provide them with the necessary edge to secure a narrow victory and achieve three successive league wins.
