Fenerbahce (home)
- Fenerbahce SK’s dominance in the Super Lig 2025-2026 season has been clear to see, as they sit 2nd in the league with 46 points from 20 matches.
- The Yellow Canaries have won one, drawn three and lost one of their last five in all competitions.
- They have failed to win any of their last three at the Şükrü Saracoğlu, drawing twice and losing once.
- Fener have been near perfect at home this season, averaging 2.22 goals per game scored and just 0.89 per game conceded in the Super Lig.
- Domenico Tedesco’s influence at the club is evident, as he has employed a three-at-the-back setup, double pivot and overloads from wing backs.
- Fenerbahce press high up the field and have the ability to transition quickly and can score goals.
Genclerbirligi (away)
- Genclerbirligi SK, meanwhile, have been slightly better of late, winning two, drawing two and losing one of their last five.
- They remain in the mid-table battle in the Super Lig, sitting 11th with 22 points from 20 fixtures.
- Genclerbirligi have failed to win either of their last 2 away Super Lig games (D1, L1).
- Genclerbirligi tend to operate with a 4-2-3-1, preferring to build up patiently and not give the ball away cheaply, instead using the structure of their midfield to dictate and play with intelligence in their pressing.
Key Players
- Anderson Talisca remains the main attacking threat for Fenerbahce, netting 11 times in 20 Super Lig fixtures, but Dorgeles Nene has scored two of Fener’s last five goals, while Sekou Koita has three in his last five for Genclerbirligi, meaning he has scored three of their eight goals in their last five games.
- Metehan Mimaroglu is the most likely to find the net for Genclerbirligi, scoring four times in 18 Super Lig appearances.
Betting Insights
- Fenerbahce are strong favorites at 1.24 to take the points, but that seems fair considering their form and Genclerbirligi’s away record of one win, two draws and seven defeats from 10 Super Lig away games.
- This looks likely to be a high-scoring affair, as the Over 2.5 goals market is available at 1.5.
Prediction
This game means more to Fenerbahce than their visitors, as they are chasing the title, but I expect the visitors to remain competitive, as they always do, and give a good account of themselves in the game.
