A thrilling Turkish Süper Lig clash is on the cards at the formidable Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium as title-chasers Fenerbahce Istanbul host a resilient Antalyaspor side. The home side, in scintillating form, knows that nothing less than three points will suffice as they aim to keep pace at the top of the table. The atmosphere in Istanbul will be electric, with the Yellow Canaries looking to put on a show for their passionate fans.

key stats

Fenerbahce have turned the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium into a fortress, currently riding a 15-match unbeaten run at home in the Süper Lig.
Antalyaspor have struggled on their travels, managing to win just one of their last eight away matches in the Turkish top flight.
Fenerbahce’s attack is in blistering form; they are the league’s top scorers and have scored two or more goals in all of their home games this season.

My prediction is a 3-1 victory for Fenerbahce Istanbul. The home side’s form, quality, and momentum are simply on a different level. Playing in front of a packed and intimidating Şükrü Saracoğlu, their world-class attack should have too much firepower for the Antalyaspor defence to handle. However, the head-to-head record strongly suggests that Antalyaspor can find the net in this fixture. With Fenerbahce potentially rotating slightly after a midweek European game, I expect the visitors to grab a consolation goal, but the final result is unlikely to be in doubt.

Fenerbahce Istanbul Vs Antalyaspor H2H

Fenerbahce hold a dominant recent record in this fixture, going unbeaten in their last nine meetings with Antalyaspor in all competitions.
The Yellow Canaries are prolific against this opposition at home, having scored in their last 15 consecutive home matches against Antalyaspor.
Despite Fenerbahce’s dominance, goals from both sides are common, with both teams having scored in six of the last eight encounters.
Antalyaspor have a poor record at this venue; their last victory at Fenerbahce’s stadium came way back in 2016.

team news Fenerbahce Istanbul

Manager José Mourinho has a deep and talented squad to call upon but may opt to rest one or two key players following a demanding midweek Champions League fixture. There is a slight doubt over central defender Alexander Djiku, who picked up a minor knock, which could see Çağlar Söyüncü step into the starting lineup. Star attackers Edin Džeko and Dusan Tadic are both fit and expected to feature prominently.

team news Antalyaspor

Antalyaspor arrive in Istanbul with a near fully-fit squad, a major boost ahead of their toughest away trip of the season. Manager Nuri Şahin will likely set his team up in a compact formation to try and frustrate the hosts. Their main attacking threat will be Polish international striker Adam Buksa, who will be tasked with holding up the ball and bringing his midfield runners into play on the counter-attack.
