ℹ️ Team News: İstanbul Başakşehir

We think that Belediye may well make use of the 4-3-3 system this time and select Muhammed Sengezer, Ömer Ali Sahiner, Jerome Opoku, Léo Duarte, Christopher Operi, Miguel Crespo, B. Ayberk Özdemir, Olivier Kemen, Yusuf Sari, Krzysztof Piatek and Deniz Türüc.

🗞️ Team News: Fenerbahçe

We reckon that Sarı Kanaryalar seem most likely to elect for a 3-4-1-2 system using Irfan Can Egribayat, Alexander Djiku, Milan Skriniar, Yusuf Akcicek, Dusan Tadic, Oguz Aydin, Filip Kostic, Fred, Sebastian Szymański, Talisca and Youssef En-Nesyri.

🧠 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that İstanbul Başakşehir are likely to get a goal against this Fenerbahçe outfit, however a single goal probably won’t quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We’re therefore expecting a very close game with a 1-2 advantage for Fenerbahçe after 90 minutes.
