Alanyaspor vs Fenerbahce Prediction: Will The Yellow Canaries Suffer The Same Fate As Gala?

Alanyaspor will host Fenerbahce in the 26th round of the Super Lig at the Bahcesehir Okullari Stadium.

Will Alanyaspor be able to win their second game in a row against a wounded opponent who has just been kicked out of European football, or will they succumb to defeat?

Let's have a look at the latest Turkish Super Lig predictions between Alanyaspor vs Fenerbahce, team news, probable lineups, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Alanyaspor

Form: LWLLLL

Alanyaspor will be biding their time to return to winning ways as they take on Jesus' men in this match after taking a one-week break from competitive action, which they definitely used to prepare for a difficult challenge ahead of them that has already knocked on their doors.

While they had the advantage in terms of ball possession (63%), in their most recent game against Ankaragucu, they only managed to register 10 shots on goal, with only one of those attempts finding the target. This lack of creativity with the ball proved to be their undoing as they fell to a 2:0 road defeat.

Due to their subpar performance, they have only recorded one win in their last five matches in the Super Lig, and they have unquestionably had a difficult time remaining consistent. They have been in solid form when playing at home as they have only recorded two losses in their last 12 games while also recording four draws and six wins. 

With 28 points, they are currently in eleventh place and are three points less of a ninth place finish.

Team News

Alanyaspor have no injury concerns at the moment, with the exception of Fatih Aksoy, who remains doubtful ahead of this match.

Leroy Fer will be ineligible for selection after receiving a red card in the 69th minute in a match against Istanbulspor about two weeks back.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Runarsson; Candeias, Bayir, Feddal, Ozdemir; Gunes, Lusamba; Karaca, Bekiroglu, Cavaleiro; Koka

Fenerbahce

Form: WWDWW

The opposition comes into this game after winning in the Europa League. Enner Valencia's goal from the penalty spot in the first half gave the Yellow Canaries a 1:0 victory over Sevilla in the round of 16 return leg, but it wasn't enough for them to move on in the competition; they lost 2:1 on aggregate score after losing the first leg 2:0.

The Yellow Canaries will now concentrate on their responsibilities in the domestic league, where they have excelled, after being eliminated from the Europa League competition. They won 2:1 on the road against Kayserispor in their most recent Super Lig match.

Although the Yellow Canaries have not had a particularly difficult stretch of poor play when playing away as they've been impressive, they have only lost two of their last eleven away games while winning seven and drawing two. This places them on a five-match unbeaten streak, winning four and drawing one.

Galatasaray's shock loss to a tenacious Konyaspor in their previous game has undoubtedly been music to their ears because they now have the opportunity to cut the 9-point gap to first place to just 6 points, assuming they win this match. With 51 points, they are currently ranked second.

Team News

With the exception of long-term absentee Lincoln, who sustained a cruciate ligament tear and will not be available for selection, Fenerbahce have no new injury concerns to be concerned about ahead of this match.

Attila Szalai, who received a booking in a road match against Kayserispor, will be ineligible for selection because he is currently serving a suspension.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-1-3-2

Bayindir; Oosterwolde, Aziz, Akaydin, Kadioglu; Arao; Rossi, Guler, Kahveci; King, Valencia

Expert Betting Tips

Following their elimination from the European competition, Fenerbahce will now devote their entire attention to their domestic league obligations. They will continue their title race, in which they have the chance to cut the 9-point gap to just 6 points as a result of Galatasaray's misstep against Konyaspor. Losing any points here will undoubtedly be a setback to their title hopes.

Since Fenerbahce is currently unbeaten in three straight games against Alanyaspor and has only suffered one defeat in the previous seven meetings, it is safe to say that they are the favorites to win this game. However, caution will be used because Fenerbahce's opponent might prove tough to break down.

Expect Fenerbahce to win easily on the road, which should be sufficient. For the second wager, choose "both teams to score, yes," as it has been successful in five of their last seven meetings.
