Fenerbahce will win this match.
2020-03-2017:00:00 Fenerbahce will win this match.
Kayserispor have won their last three league games against Fenerbahçe, including their 1-0 win at home in November – Umut Bulut scoring the only goal of the game. Fenerbahçe hit back in the cup, however – following a goalless draw in the away leg, as Ferdi Kadioglu and Mevlut Erdinc scored in a 2-0 home win.
Here are the results of the last five matches:
Jan 21, 2020: Fenerbahçe 2-0 Kayserispor
Jan 14, 2020: Kayserispor 0-0 Fenerbahçe
Nov 03, 2019: Kayserispor 1-0 Fenerbahçe
Feb 08, 2019: Kayserispor 1-0 Fenerbahçe
Sep 01, 2018: Fenerbahçe 2-3 Kayserispor
Fenerbahçe are out of form, searching for their first win in seven games, and facing a Kayserispor team who – though they may be bottom of the league – have come into some decent form themselves.
Kayserispor have won their last three league games against Fenerbahçe too, though Sari Kanaryalar hit back when they met in the cup last time out.
But Fenerbahçe do have some key players back for this game, having been struggling due to the number of players injured and suspended they have had to contend with lately.
Both of their last two goalscorers – who missed the last match because of bans – are back for this game, and they are slowly getting back to nearer full strength.
Given Kayserispor were hit for five in their most recent away game, there are positive signs for Fenerbahçe – particular as Pedro Henrique and Gustavo Campanharo are out through suspension too.
Regardless of form, and previously results between these two, what is clear is Fenerbahçe need to get back to winning ways and soon.
A home match against the team bottom of the league is a good opportunity in any circumstance – and Fenerbahçe need to take advantage of that.
Fenerbahçe are big odds-on favourites to beat Kayserispor with Bet365 – they are a best price of 2/7 to win with Betway.
Given their poor recent record, however, both tams to score is tempting at a best price of 8/11 with Betway.
Fenerbahçe to win and BTTS is a best price of 6/4 with Betway, while over 2.5 goals will return a best price of 2/5 with Bet365.
Vedat Muriqi is Fenerbahçe’s top goalscorer, though he has not been scoring lately. Nevertheless, he is favourite to score at any time.
Fenerbahçe need to get back to winning ways – their form is poor, while Kayserispor have improved lately. The hosts are still big favourites for this one, however.
Injuries and suspensions means Fenerbahce have struggled for consistency with their starting line-ups this season. Sadik Ciftpinar is a long-term absentee, while Max Kruse, Nabil Dirar and Alyay Bayindir are all injured too, and Hasan Ali Kaldirim is suspended. Harun Tekin replaced Bayindir in goal last time out, but Fenerbahce will at least have Serdar Aziz, Ozan Tufan and Tolgay Arslan back from suspension.
Vedat Muriqi – Tops Fenerbahce’s goalscoring charts this season with 15 in 28 appearances, alongside six assists.
Ozan Tufan – Scored in the draw with Denizlispor but was suspended last time out. He has netted three times this season but laid on six assists too.
Serdar Aziz – Having had to field two midfielders at the back last time out, the return of the centre-back – who also scored their most recent goal – is a big boost.
Fenerbahce are without a win in their last six matches in all competitions, having most recently suffered a 1-0 defeat away to nine-man Konyaspor. They drew their last home game, however, despite playing the entire second-half with ten men against Denizlispor. Ozan Tufan opened the scoring before the visitors, with the man advantage, hit back to lead only for Serdar Aziz to score a last-minute equaliser.
Kayserispor will be without suspended duo Gustavo Campanharo and Pedro Henrique when they take on Fenerbahçe, while Levent Gulen, Nurettin Korkmaz, Alpay Celebi and Miguel Lopes remain on the injured list. Ben Rienstra could replace Campanharo, while Mario Situm is likely to start ahead of Henrique.
Bernard Mensah – Missed a penalty last weekend, but had earlier laid on both Konyaspor goals as they returned to winning ways.
Muris Mesanovic – Scored three goals in ten games so far during his spell on loan from Mlada Boleslav, including the opener last time out.
Diego Angelo – The centre-back’s arrival has been central to their upturn in form, and he could be key against out-of-form Fenerbahçe.
After ten games without a win, Kayserispor have won three and drawn one of their last five matches. Their brief resurgence was halted by a crushing 5-1 away defeat to Kasimpasa – Bernard Mensah scoring Kayserispor’s goal – but they bounced back last weekend to beat Yeni Malatyaspor 2-1. Muris Mesanovic and Pedro Henrique scored the hosts’ goals.
