The match
Matchday 37 of the Turkish Super Lig sees Fenerbahce host Fatih Karagümrük at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in Istanbul. Fenerbahce will be looking to officially lock up second-place and an entry into the Champions League second qualifying round as they currently hold a five point lead over third-place Konyaspor with only two matches remaining. The Yellow Canaries last match was a 1-1 away draw with rivals Besiktas, a result which snapped an impressive seven match winning run but pushed their unbeaten streak to 12 games. They come up against a Karagümrük side that sit sixth in the league table with 56 points and look unlikely to finish in the top four, trailing fourth-place Basaksehir by five points. Karagümrük’s last match was a 3-1 home win over Goztepe and they have now made it three straight wins while picking up 13 points from the last five matches.
This matchup sees two teams in very good form to close out the season. Fenerbahce have been strong at home all year a record of 11-4-3 sees them come into this match as significant favorites. While they likely continue their winning ways and make it five straight victories at home, the visitors should fancy themselves to at least get on the scoresheet. Karagümrük have had their struggles away from home this season, reflected in their 6-9-4 away record with a -16 goal differential, a dramatic drop from their +12 home goal differential. However, their recent purple patch has seen Kara Kırmızı able to find the net with more regularity and they have now scored in five straight matches.Key Statistics
- Both teams have scored in the last three meetings between these two teams, with the most recent finishing in a 1-1 draw.
- Karagümrük have conceded in six straight matches while Fenerbahce have conceded in two straight.
- 24 of Fenerbahce’s 36 matches have seen both teams finding the net while 18 of Karagümrük 36 matches have also hit the mark.
The bet of our experts
We’re going to back both teams to score as our bet for this match. The price offered is just good enough to make it a play when considering both teams recent performances. The visitors' strong form to close out the season should see them able to penetrate the Fenerbahce defense but they are unlikely to get the three points over the hosts. We see Fener taking this one with a score of 2-1.
