Alanyaspor — Fenerbahce Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 18 January 2026
On January 18, 2026, in Matchday 18 of the Turkish Süper Lig, Alanyaspor will host Fenerbahce. The match is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Alanyaspor
Alanyaspor approach this match in fairly good form. The team are currently on a seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions, recording four draws and three wins. Their most recent game was in the Turkish Cup, where Alanyaspor drew 2–2 against Karagümrük. In the cup competition, the team are now in second place in their group with four points.
In the Turkish Süper Lig, Alanyaspor have also been relatively solid. In their latest league match, they once again faced Karagümrük and secured a convincing 2–0 home victory. Alanyaspor currently sit 10th in the league table with 21 points. They are 11 points away from the European qualification spots, while the gap to the relegation zone is six points.
One of Alanyaspor’s main strengths this season has been their defense. The team have conceded only 15 goals in 17 matches, which is one of the best defensive records in the league. However, their attacking output has been far less impressive, with just 16 goals scored — one of the lowest tallies in the Süper Lig.
At home, Alanyaspor have been quite reliable. They are unbeaten in their last three home matches and have suffered only one defeat in six home games overall. That said, their home record against Fenerbahçe is clearly negative, as Alanyaspor have lost their last five home meetings against this opponent.
Fenerbahce
Fenerbahçe come into this match after a narrow 1–0 victory in the Turkish Cup against a team from Turkey’s third division. It was their first win in the competition this season, after previously losing to Beşiktaş. At the moment, Fenerbahçe are only sixth in their group standings in the Turkish Cup.
In domestic competitions, the team have recently enjoyed notable success, having won the Turkish Super Cup against Galatasaray, securing their first trophy of the year. In the Süper Lig, Fenerbahçe currently sit in second place, trailing Galatasaray by three points. They boast an impressive goal difference, having scored 39 goals and conceded just 14.
Away from home, Fenerbahçe have been the strongest team in the Süper Lig this season. In nine away matches, they have collected 19 points, scored 20 goals, and conceded only seven. Their recent away form is particularly impressive: Fenerbahçe have won their last four away games across all competitions, keeping a clean sheet in each of those matches.
In the Europa League, Fenerbahçe are currently in 12th place in the standings and retain very good chances of reaching the playoffs. Their next European challenge will be a tough match against Aston Villa next week.
Looking at the head-to-head record against Alanyaspor, Fenerbahçe have clearly dominated this matchup in recent years. They are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with this opponent, recording seven wins and two draws.

Alanyaspor — Fenerbahce Prediction
Both teams come into this match in good form. Alanyaspor are enjoying an impressive unbeaten run and have been playing with confidence at home in recent games, although they remain only in mid-table. Their attacking output is not particularly strong, but they boast one of the best defensive records in the Turkish Süper Lig. Fenerbahçe, meanwhile, are in high spirits. The team recently won the Turkish Super Cup, secured their first victory in this season’s Turkish Cup, continue to fight Galatasaray for the league title, and are also competing for a place in the Europa League playoffs. Away from home, Fenerbahçe are currently the best-performing team in the Süper Lig, combining strong attacking efficiency with a very solid defense. In recent years, Fenerbahçe have dominated this matchup, remaining unbeaten against Alanyaspor in their last nine meetings and winning five consecutive away matches against this opponent. Considering the current form of both sides, this match promises to be a very competitive and tense affair. Both teams rely on solid defensive structures, so a high-scoring game seems unlikely. My bet for this match: Total Under 3 goals at odds of 1.5.
