Key Stats

Fenerbahce have won their last 11 consecutive matches against Kasimpasa in all competitions, a remarkable record of dominance.
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in nine of the last ten meetings between these two Istanbul clubs.
Fenerbahce have scored at least two goals in their last ten matches against Kasimpasa.

My prediction is a 1-3 away win for Fenerbahce Istanbul. While the derby atmosphere and Kasimpasa’s attacking intent should ensure the home side gets on the scoresheet, the historical and quality gap is simply too vast to ignore. Fenerbahce have a complete psychological hold over their city rivals, and their superior squad depth and clinical finishing, led by Edin Džeko, should see them through. Expect an open, end-to-end match, but one where Fenerbahce’s class ultimately proves decisive.
