Hatayspor - Fenerbahce
When: 19:00
Where: Turkey. Süper Lig
Hatayspor
Hatayspor stands in 18th place on the table with only 23 points from 34 games, 5 wins and 21 losses. The defense is very vulnerable, with a goal difference of -26 (41 scored, 67 conceded) and nearly two goals conceded per game on average. The last five games showed a negative trend with three consecutive defeats. The team plays openly and has problems in defense, reflected in a high average of over 3 goals per game. Despite support on their home ground, the form is unsatisfactory and breaking out of the slump seems difficult.
Fenerbahce
Fenerbahce ranks second with 81 points, 25 wins and only 3 losses. With an impressive 86 goals scored and 34 conceded (+52), the team presents itself as one of the most offensively strong in the league with an average of 2.53 goals per game. The last five games show stable form with three wins, one draw and one defeat. Fenerbahce dominates the game, relies on ball possession and quick combinations over the wings, while also remaining solid defensively.
Injuries
Hatayspor has to do without Francisco Calvo (yellow card suspension), Carlos Strandberg (red card) and Rui Pedro (injury, downtime unknown), which particularly weakens defense and offense. Fenerbahce is missing Fred (yellow card suspension), Ismail Yuksek (yellow card suspension) and Rodrigo Becao (long-term knee injury), affecting central midfield and defense. These absences could influence the flow of the game, but Fenerbahce has enough depth to compensate.
Head-to-Head
Fenerbahce won the last five direct duels, sometimes with large margins (e.g., 4:0, 2:0). Hatayspor managed to score in two of those games, underlining that they can be dangerous at least in phases. Overall, the record indicates a clear superiority of Fenerbahce, who often win by at least two goals.
Match Prediction
Given the clear class difference, weak form and vulnerable defense of Hatayspor as well as the strong offense and motivation of Fenerbahce, a win for the visitors is very likely. History shows that both teams can score at least one goal since Hatayspor uses their chances even though they are defensively weak. Therefore, the bet on “Both teams to score: Yes” with odds of 1.45 is highly recommended. It is expected that Fenerbahce will dominate and score, but Hatayspor will also be successful at least once.
My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.45)
