Fenerbahce vs Adana Demirspor Match Analysis & Prediction
10/08/2024 9:45 pm
After last season’s near miss, Fenerbahce kick off this season’s Turkish Super Lig title chase against Adana Dmirspor at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Saturday.
Jose Mourinho was not in charge last season when Fenerbahce picked up 99 points but still fell short in the title race, with Galatasaray ending the campaign with 102 points.
Just over two months since the gut-wrenching culmination of the 2023-24 season, Mourinho aims to pick up his players for another shot at a first Super Lig title since the 2013-14 and 20th league crown.
Unlike their opponent, Fenerbahce have already played competitively this season, with the Yellow Canaries participating in Champions League qualifying before gameweek one’s contest.
Having secured progress at Lugano’s expense in the previous round, a first-leg loss to Lille in France leaves Fenerbahce at risk of continental elimination before next week’s reverse fixture.
Adana Demirspor will hope to play a Fenerbahce side not at full power on Saturday keen to get off to a commendable start in 2024-25 under a different regime.
Michael Valkanis replaced Hikmet Karaman just over a month ago, and the Australian manager aims to start his spell in Turkey with a positive result.
Last season brought about a decline in overall performance from Adana Demirspor after successive top-half finishes under Vincenzo Montella, with fourth place in 2022-23 the club’s peak under the Italian.
That followed a ninth-placed final position under the former Italy striker, who elevated the Adana-based club after taking over in the 2021-22 season.
Adana Demirspor must improve on last season’s wretched away run that saw them post one win in 19 matches away from Adana, drawing 10 and losing eight.
