The Sunday schedule of the 32nd round of the Turkish Championship will conclude with a match in Istanbul, where local Fenerbahçe will host Kayserispor. I suggest a bet on the outcome with an excellent odds.
Match preview
The "Canaries" continue their pursuit of Galatasaray in the battle for the championship. The team confidently holds second place, having collected 71 points. In the last ten rounds of the Super League - six wins, two draws, and two losses. The attack is working like clockwork: averaging 2.2 goals per game - 22 goals over the same period, which certainly deserves respect.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe has been going through a tough schedule: a convincing win over Trabzonspor (4-1), a solid Sivasspor was defeated 3-1, and they dealt with a combative Bodrumspor away - 4-2. The only serious misstep happened in the Turkish Cup, where the club lost in the Istanbul derby to Galatasaray (1-2). Add to this a setback on the international stage - being knocked out by Rangers - and it turns out the ambitions were a bit broader than the outcome.
Kayserispor is also keeping up the pace - six wins in the last ten rounds, two draws, and two losses. Over this period, the team has scored 16 goals - averaging 1.6 per game, which, although more modest than the competitors, still deserves respect. The end of the series stands out particularly: three consecutive wins with a total score of 8-0. Hatayspor was torn apart - 5-0, followed by confident away wins with clean sheets against Adana Demirspor (2-0) and Kasımpaşa (1-0).
Obviously, the team has caught the spirit and approached the decisive stretch in good form. But there is also a downside. In matches against strong opponents, difficulties arise: losses to Gaziantep (0-1) and Beşiktaş (0-2) showed that against high resistance, Kayserispor sometimes lacks class or versatility.
Probable lineups
- Fenerbahçe: Eğribayat – Müldür, Akçicek, Škriniar, Söyüncü – Kostić, Szymański, Amrabat – Tadić, Džeko, En-Nesyri
- Kayserispor: Bayazit, Sazdagı, Atamma, Kolovetsios, Kıldırım, Kaira Yılmaz, Karimi, Nazod, Buraia, Cardozo, Mane Carlos
Match facts and head-to-head
- In the first round, Fenerbahçe defeated the opponent 6-2 away
- Fenerbahçe has beaten the opponent in the last seven matches
- The "Over 2.5 goals" bet has won in the last five matches
Prediction
Bookmakers have no doubt about the hosts' victory, but the odds for Fenerbahçe's win are modest - 1.15. We suggest taking "Fenerbahçe Win and Over 2.5 Goals" with odds of 1.65.
