Fenerbahce vs Akhisar Belediye Predictions

Istanbul giants Fenerbahce aren’t in the mix for the title this term, but they have saved a season which could have ended in disaster. The hosts were in the relegation places at one point this term, which saw them rally in order to move away from the drop zone. Their recent results have pushed them towards safety, while they are now five points clear of the drop. Will their turnaround continue this weekend, when one of the teams on course for relegation visit Istanbul?

Fenerbahce were able to juggle Europa League commitments while making a turnaround in their league fortunes, while they’re set to miss out on any kind of European football next season. The hosts are up to 12th, but they’re almost 20 points off the European spots, which is strange for a club of their size. They still have plenty of established players, but Fener have work to do in order to return to the top. This season their goal will simply be safety, which three points here can help them towards.

Even a win here isn’t likely to save Akhisarspor, who are currently bottom of the pile in the Super Lig. The visitors are on 25 points, leaving them eight shy of safety with three games to play. This is a difficult clash for a side trying to save themselves, but we’ve seen slips from Fener already this term. The hosts have lost 10 of their 31 games to date, so the away side could put up a fight here.

They should expect to cause problems based on their head to head with Fener. The visitors have won the previous four meetings between the two in the league, while they’ve managed to score 10 goals in that time. Their trip here in March last year saw them win 3-2, while there was a 3-0 rout over Fener in the home meeting in December.

Akhisarspor have scored in five of their last six away trips, while they meet a Fener side who have conceded in 81% of their league games. The hosts have seen both teams score in eight of their last nine home league games, with 80% of their matches here seeing both teams find the net. Given that the visitors have seen both teams score in 60% of their trips, we think going with BTTS is the best bet on Saturday’s clash.
