Fenerbahce vs Erzurum BB Prediction & Betting tips
In the Süper Lig, reigning vice-champion Fenerbahce Istanbul will receive promoters BB Erzurumspor for the Krisenduell on Monday night (17.12.2018, 17:00). Both teams can be found tied in the table cellar after the 15th matchday. Only bottom Çaykur Rizespor has another three points less, but could give the red lantern with a win at the weekend due to the better goal difference.
While Erzurumspor for the first time ever in the club’s history in the highest Turkish league starts and obviously has not arrived here, the canaries play since the year 1959 continuously in the Süper Lig and never performed worse than in tenth place. In order to avert the first descent in the club’s history, the leaders steered with Ersun Yanal their master coach from the 2013/14 season back to Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium during the week. Whether with him the success returns, remains to be seen.
Fenerbahce:
As stated earlier, Fenerbahce Istanbul was the second strongest force in Turkey last season. The canaries were keen to pick up on this, but already at the start of the season they were completely in the sand. As a result, Philip Cocu was initially released from his post as head coach and interim replaced by assistant coach Erwin Koeman. But he could not stop the free fall, so that Fenerbahce after the 15th matchday with a record of only three wins, five draws and seven defeats, a goal difference of -8 and only 14 points on the penultimate place finds again. Last Friday, Ersun Yanal was then appointed coach, which Fener already supervised in the 2013/14 season and led to the previous championship.
Fenerbahce has just won two of their last ten competitive league games. In contrast, there are still three defeats and four draws. In the Süper Lig, they were only five points away from Galatasaray (7-2, 2), Alanyaspor (14th, 2-0) and Kasımpaşa (2, 2-2) the shape table at least enough for the 13th place. The games against Trabzonspor (6, 1: 2) and Akhisarspor (0: 3) were lost, however, which together with the defeat in the European Cup during the week against Spartak Trnava (0: 1) should have led to another change of coach.
BB Erzurum:
The Büyüksehir Belediye Erzurumspor reached in the last season, the fifth in the second highest Turkish league and thus qualified for the promotion uplift. Here, the team from Eastern Anatolia prevailed on penalties against Gaziantep and thus secured the third promotion ticket. In the Süper Lig Erzurum but has not really arrived yet. Just like the upcoming opponent, the team of head coach Mehmet Ozdilek put the start of the season to shame. Only in October and November did it look as if Erzurumspor had acclimatised in the short term, but no league game was lost in that period. Nevertheless, the record of three wins, five draws and seven defeats, a goal difference of -6 and 14 points sobering and currently only reaches the 16th place.
Successful November saw a draw against Akhisarspor (13th, 1: 1) and two wins against Göztepe Izmir (12th, 2: 1) and Antalyaspor (3rd, 1: 0), followed in December disillusionment again. In Bursaspor (10th, 1: 2) and in the home game against Yeni Malatyaspor (5, 1: 3) drove the Ozdilek-Eleven two defeats, even though due to the odds ratio, at least in the game last weekend would have been quite possible.
