🗞️ Team News: Fenerbahçe

It looks as if Sarı Kanaryalar will possibly employ a 3-4-1-2 formation this time, handing starts to Irfan Can Egribayat, Çağlar Söyüncü, Milan Skriniar, Yusuf Akcicek, Oguz Aydin, Sofyan Amrabat, Fred, Filip Kostic, Sebastian Szymański, Talisca and Youssef En-Nesyri.

📰 Team News: Konyaspor

Konyaspor boss Recep Uçar has some current player fitness concerns. Marko Jevtovic (unknown injury), Tunahan Taşçı (Overstretching of the syndesmotic ligament), Emmanuel Boateng (Muscle injury), Danijel Aleksic (Muscle injury) and Jakub Slowik (Blockage in the back) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We’re of the thinking that Konyaspor might utilise a 4-3-3 system, going with Deniz Ertas, Adil Demirbag, Riechedly Bazoer, Josip Calusic, Guilherme Haubert, Melih Ibrahimoglu, Morten Björlo, Alassane Ndao, Louka Prip, Umut Nayir and Yusuf Erdogan.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Konyaspor are likely to put one past this Fenerbahçe team, although that might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We can see a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Fenerbahçe at the end of the 90 minutes. There looks to be little in this one.
