# u can see above the cup winners and final participants so far.Current finalist Genclerbirligi has much more experience on Final games and also they have reached to win Cup 2 times in 4 final games.But we cant compare th past and current Genclerbirligi.At those days they were horrible dreams of big guns in the league but saving themselves from relegation in last 2 weeks shows their current situation.

Kayserispor was a bit disappoint this year for everyone.Me and other were expecting them much more than current and after getting bad result at the first part of the season nothing left them to do but play for respectability.

At the weekend Genclerbirligi had a tight squezee vs Fenerbahce in Istanbul and they had to play with their full powers during 90 minute coz they need at least one point to save themselves.And they did whatever they could.But Vestel losing at home vs already relegated sive Kasimpasa saved 'em on the edge.I am almost sure they r still in lethargy
of this and feeling tired 'emselves.

Kayseri saved their main powers in fact.They even saved their bench's power to fight for the cp but even this was enough to beat Bursa at their home.This is kinda positive handicap for them and i am sure that they will take advantage of it.

One more thing guides me to take Kaysei win the cup that Bursa teams and fans are in relationship another capital city team Ankaragucu.And Genclerbirligi is their biggest opponent in Turkey and the matches between of these two count as another derby or Capital city rivalrity.Therefore we shall see Bursa fans at the stands while supporting Kayserispor

All in all, all the possibilities and factors that i count above are suggesting me Kayserispor's victory here.But i dont want effect any one for taking their victory blindly.All we saw so far such games ending straight draws when we had confidence about the games.But this time there is big possibility that the cup will find its holder within 90 minutes and if you ask me it will be Red-Yellow side Kayseri
