Fenerbahçe

WWDWLW

Fenerbahçe, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-4 Super Lig victory over İstanbul Başakşehir.

In that game, Fenerbahçe had 50% possession and 19 shots on goal with 9 of them on target. For Fenerbahçe, the goals were scored by Mert Müldür (44'), Milan Škriniar (60'), Youssef En-Nesyri (86') and Oğuz Aydın (93'). Istanbul Basaksehir had 14 shots on goal with 6 on target. Ömer Beyaz (91') was the scorer for İstanbul Başakşehir.

Fenerbahçe have been conceding pretty frequently of late, although they have also found ways to hit the back of the net themselves. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Fenerbahçe have been punished defensively in 6 of them while also managing to get on the scoresheet in 5 of those games. Previous results aside, time will tell whether that trend will continue on in this game.

Coming into this meeting, Fenerbahçe have not won at home in their last 2 league matches.

Eyüpspor

WWLLLL 📉

Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Kasimpasa in Super Lig action, Eyüpspor will be aiming to make amends here.

A tendency of at least one team not managing to score in games involving Eyüpspor has been apparent recently. Checking on their last six games reveals that it has happened 5 times. In these clashes, their opponents have managed a goal aggregate of 12 and Eyüpspor have scored 8.

Coming into this clash, Eyüpspor are without a win away from home in their last 2 league games.

📋 Team News: Fenerbahçe

We think that Sarı Kanaryalar may well kick off with a 3-4-1-2 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Dominik Livakovic, Milan Skriniar, Çağlar Söyüncü, Diego Carlos, Mert Müldür, Sebastian Szymański, Fred, Filip Kostic, Dusan Tadic, Talisca and Edin Dzeko.

📰 Team News: Eyüpspor

Eyüpspor manager Arda Turan has multiple availability issues to deal with. Sinan Gümüş (unknown injury), Taşkın İlter (Cruciate ligament injury), Léo Dubois (Fitness) and Fredrik Midtsjø (Cruciate ligament tear) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that Eyüpspor will likely utilise a 4-1-4-1 formation, settling for Berke Ozer, Caner Erkin, Luccas Claro, Ruben Vezo, Umut Meras, Taras Stepanenko, Halil Akbunar, Yalcin Kayan, Tayfur Bingöl, Prince Ampem and Mame Baba Thiam.

💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that Eyüpspor should be able to breach the defence of this Fenerbahçe lineup, but it might not quite be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re predicting both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Fenerbahçe after the 90. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
