The Saturday program of the 28th round of the Turkish championship will conclude with a match in Mersin, where the local Hatayspor will face Fenerbahçe at the "Mersin Arena". Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Hatayspor
The "Maroon-Whites" are battling to retain their place in the Turkish Super Lig. Currently, Hatayspor occupies the 16th position in the league table, accruing 29 points from 27 matches. They are just one point clear of the relegation zone. However, the table is tightly contested, and even a single victory could propel Volkan Demirel's team up by five positions. In their last match, Hatayspor suffered a 0-2 defeat away to Konyaspor, extending their winless streak to three matches. Notably, at home, Hatayspor has only lost two Super Lig matches this season, winning four and drawing seven.
Fenerbahçe
The "Yellow Canaries" are engaged in a fierce battle with their archrival Galatasaray for the league title. Currently, Ismail Kartal's team trails the leader by two points. Galatasaray surpassed Fenerbahçe after the latter stumbled to a 2-2 draw at home against Alanyaspor three rounds ago. Following that, the "Yellow Canaries" secured victories in two matches, defeating Rizespor 3-1 and Kasimpasa 2-1 at home. It's worth mentioning that Ismail Kartal's side unexpectedly suffered a defeat in the Turkish Cup quarterfinal against Ankaragucu, conceding three goals unanswered.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
