Key Stats

Fener’s Home Fortress: The Şükrü Saracoğlu is one of the most difficult stadiums for any visiting team. Fenerbahçe have won 14 of their last 15 home matches in the Turkish Süper Lig, scoring an average of 3.2 goals per game in those victories.
A History of Goals: This fixture is almost a guarantee for entertainment. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in nine of the last ten meetings between Fenerbahçe and Alanyaspor.
Alanyaspor’s Defensive Woes in Istanbul: The visitors have consistently struggled to contain Fenerbahçe’s attack on the road, conceding at least two goals in eight of their last nine visits to this stadium.

I predict a 3-1 victory for Fenerbahçe. The evidence pointing to a comfortable home win is simply overwhelming. Fenerbahçe’s blistering start to the season, coupled with their near-invincible record at home, makes them massive favourites. The head-to-head history reinforces this, showing a pattern of high-scoring Fenerbahçe wins. However, Alanyaspor have a knack for scoring in this fixture, often grabbing a consolation goal. With Fenerbahçe missing a key defender, the visitors are likely to get on the scoresheet, but they won’t have enough to stop the home side’s relentless attacking machine.

Team News Fenerbahce Istanbul

Fenerbahçe manager José Mourinho will be without key central defender Luan Peres, who is sidelined with a knee injury. His absence could make the home side slightly more vulnerable defensively. However, the star-studded attack is fully fit and firing on all cylinders, with veterans Edin Džeko and Dušan Tadić expected to lead the line alongside the creative talents of Sebastian Szymański.

Team News Alanyaspor

Alanyaspor face a significant challenge as their main creative force, veteran midfielder Efecan Karaca, is a major doubt for the trip to Istanbul with a knock. If he is unable to play, it would be a huge blow to their ability to create chances on the counter-attack. Manager Fatih Tekke is expected to set his team up in a compact 4-2-3-1 formation to try and frustrate the hosts.
