Ankaragucu

It has been an enduring start to the 2023–24 Turkish Super Lig campaign for the club from the capital, who have yet to secure their first win. Their trip to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Stadium on the first match day to lock horns with Kasimpasa concluded in disappointment as they narrowly lost 3-2.

While home advantage was supposed to do them favors against Adana Demirspor on the second day by helping them to their first three points of the season, they ended up sharing the spoils after playing out a 1-1 draw. This was followed by another 1-1 draw against Fatih Karagumruk in their most recent match on the road, extending their winless run to three matches.

Being pitted against Fenerbahce in past meetings has always proven to be an arduous task for the club from the capital, as they have struggled for consistency. Besides losing five of their last seven meetings, they have only won three of their last fourteen home matches, alongside eight losses and three draws, depicting a side that has had a poor start to the season and is likely to struggle once again in their bid for a positive outcome.

They currently occupy 15th place with 2 points to their name, one place above the relegation zone, and four points behind first place, which is currently occupied by their opponents in this impending clash.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Fenerbahce

The Yellow Canaries knew that their ticket to qualifying for the Europa League group stages was already punched in the first-leg play-off against FC Twente, where they tore apart Joseph Oosting's side by a 5-1 score line at home. The second leg away from home was just a polish-up of their prior success, winning 1-0 courtesy of Edin Džeko's 72nd converted penalty, who has been a notable addition to the squad since his arrival. This saw them post a 6-1 aggregate success.

In the new 2023–24 Turkish Super Lig campaign, they have been exceptional, posting back-to-back wins, a 2-1 at home against Gaziantep and a convincing 2-0 win against newly promoted side Samsunspor on the road. They will look to build up on that momentum to make it three wins in a row as they safeguard their position at the pinnacle.

Their performance so far has been impressive, as they have recorded eight consecutive wins from their competitive matches, and not only that, but they have been firing on all cylinders, scoring 25 goals while staying true to their resolute defense and only scoring three goals.

They currently occupy first place with six points to their name and will be out to secure maximum points in this clash as they seek to consolidate their position in the standings.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-3

I. Egribayat; J. Oosterwolde, R. Becao, S. Aziz; I. Yuksek, M. Yandas, B. Osayi-Samuel, Fred; D. Tadic, E. Dzeko, C. Under

Expert Betting Tips

The Yellow Canaries won both of their games against Ankaragucu in the previous season, a 3-0 win on the road and a 2-1 win at home, and given their impressive display since the start of the season, there's no doubt that they are the team to beat. It's also worth mentioning that they are currently on a four-match winning streak in this fixture and have won their last two matches on the road.

Therefore, we anticipate league leaders Fenerbahce to secure another three-pointer away from home against a side that has been unconvincing with their performance since the league's commencement.
