Kayserispor vs Fenerbahce Match Analysis and Prediction

5 years ago 872

Fenerbahce will continue their bid to secure a Champions League place when they make a trip to face Kayserispor on Saturday.

As they currently sit third in the Super Lig table, Fenerbahce will need to close the gao to second if they are to return to Europe’s most prestigious competition.

Following misfortunes in the camp of their rivals and record Turkish champions Galatasaray this season, Fenerbahce may have been confident of a clean run to the title.

However, thas has not been the case, as Trabzonspor lead the way at the top of the table, with Konyaspor a surprise inclusion in the second Champions League qualification spot.

A chance for Fenerbahce to jump into the top two still remains though, with the gap to themselves and Konyaspor in second being just two points.

Having won just one of their six matches between mid-December and late January, hopes of a Champions League spot looked to be sliding away for Fenerbahce.

However, a run of four wins from their six games has pushed them back into contention, with the Yellow Canaries’ focus firmly set on Konyaspor.

Kayserispor will be looking to end Fenerbahce’s unbeaten run this weekend, as they enter the final part of the season free from the threat of relegation.

While their run of four straight defeats may be a poor record, Kayserispor currently sit 14th in the table and have a nine-point gap between themselves and the bottom four.

However, much of their poor form has come away from home, with the Anatolian Star having only lost two of their last 14 home matches across all competitions.

Kayserispor have been winless in their previous four league meetings against Fenerbahce, and should they get victory over the Turkish giants this weekend, it will be their first victory against the Yellow Canaries since Novwmber 2019.
