Fenerbahce

Form: WWDWD

The Yellow Canaries confirmed their place in the Turkiye Kupasi final as they edged out a commanding 3:0 triumph against Sivasspor at the Şükrü Saracoğlu in the second leg of the semi-final having played out a goalless draw in the first leg.

Prior to that they utilised their home advantage to good use in their match against Trabzonspor as they gave their fans something worth cheering about as they claimed a convincing 3:1 victory thanks to goals from Michy Batshuayi, Peres Petroni and Enner Valencia.

When playing at home the yellow canaries have only lost one of their last six matches losing 4:2 against Besiktas while recording four wins and a draw to accumulate 13 points s run that has typified nothing but consistency. It's also worth noting that they are unbeaten in three home matches.

They presently occupy second place with 74 points level on points with Besiktas in third place while their bid for a first place finish is hampered by a five point deficit

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

Egribayat; Kadioglu, Akaydin, Szalai, Peres; Guler, Arao, Zajc, Rossi; Batshuayi, Valencia

Antalyaspor

Form: DDLWL

Antalyaspor extended their winless run at home to three matches in their recent match against Istanbul Basaksehir, and they settled for a share of the spoils after playing out a goalless draw.

Prior to that, they made the trip to Eryaman Stadium to lock horns with Ankaragucu and were unfortunate not to have walked away with all three points as they were held to a 1:1 draw. In that match, they played out a goalless first half, and going into the second half, they broke the impasse in the 68th minute through Vural's strike, only for his efforts to be thrown down the drain by a last-minute equalizer from their opponent.

Away from home, they are currently on a four-match unbeaten run, but they have only won one match during this period, a 1:0 win over Fatih Karagumruk, while recording three draws to accumulate three points, a run that has typified nothing but inconsistency, making their chances of causing an upset in this encounter nonexistent.

With 33 games played, picking up 10 wins, 8 draws, and 15 losses, they currently find themselves occupying 13th place with 38 points and are two places above the relegation zone, where they have a four-point advantage.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-5-1

Leite; Balci, Sari, Uzunhan, Sertel; Rakip, Fernando, Ndao, Fredy, Larsson; Wright

Expert Betting Tips

Fenerbahce have only one motive in mind: to keep up with league leaders Galatasaray by narrowing down the five-point gap. With three games remaining, they know that their prospects of concluding the season in first place are hanging by a thread, but they will not put the brakes on as they lean on the slightest hope that things may turn out in their favor down the line.

Antalyaspor have been in dreadful form when playing away, as they have only won one of their last 11 matches while picking up five wins and five draws, and up against a side that has been in impressive display with their performance thus far, nothing other than a convincing defeat for them could be on the cards.

Fenerbahce have gone unbeaten in their last seven matches against Antalyaspor, where four wins and three draws were recorded, leaving no doubt that they have been the dominant side in this fixture. As such, we anticipate Jorge Jesus' men to come out on top here with a convincing win by picking them up in the full-time market combined with the total under 3.5 goals, which should be enough to surface.
