Fenerbahce vs Eyupspor prediction, H2H and probable lineups - 18 May 2025
One of the fixtures of matchday 36 in the Turkish Super Lig will take place on Sunday at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul, where the local side Fenerbahce will host Eyupspor. I'm suggesting a bet on goals in this clash with an attractive odds offer.
Match preview
Fenerbahce continue their pursuit of Galatasaray in the title race, trailing by eight points. At home, the team is showing strong form—12 wins in 16 matches and the second-best attacking record in the league (38 goals). In recent rounds, the club has hit top form, winning 4 of their last 5 games, including a convincing away victory over Basaksehir (4-1).
Under the guidance of Ismail Kartal, the team intends to take maximum points in the remaining rounds. Their opponent for matchday 36 is a class below, making Fenerbahce clear favorites. At the same time, the hosts have also displayed solid defensive performances this season—just 31 goals conceded.
Meanwhile, Eyupspor, the newcomers to Turkey’s elite division, have made quite a splash this season and now deservedly sit sixth, still in the hunt for European competition. However, their recent form is a major concern—four straight losses with an aggregate score of 0:13.
On the most recent matchday, Eyupspor hosted Kasimpasa and suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat. On the road, Eyupspor have also struggled: 5 wins in 17 away matches and 26 goals conceded. After a strong spring run, the team has slumped, especially underperforming against top-5 sides. The match in Istanbul against Fenerbahce will be a true test for the visitors, especially after their recent thrashing by Galatasaray (1-5).
Probable lineups
- Fenerbahce: Egribayat – Müldür, Akcicek, Skriniar, Soyuncu – Kostic, Szymanski, Amrabat – Tadic, Dzeko, En-Nesyri
