Fenerbahce vs Kasimpasa Prediction & Betting tips
Cup week in Turkey will end on Thursday evening with the city derby between Fenerbahce and Kasimpasa. Both teams last played last Monday, which is why the late arrival in the Türkiye Kupasi is understandable. As the odds comparison of the betting base shows, the canaries from Istanbul are favored in the cup derby.
Fenerbahce head coach Erol Bulut is expected to start the rotary machine in the cup game, because the double burden is hardly convenient at the moment. Due to the tight table constellation in the Süper Lig, it cannot be ruled out that players from the second guard will be used on Thursday evening.
Fenerbahce :
The canaries from Istanbul can hardly complain about the last week. After all, Fenerbahce drew level on points with the league leaders and city rivals Besiktas on the last matchday of the Süper Lig. The team around head coach Erol Bulut celebrated their fourth win in a row.
Among other things, the table runner-up from Istanbul prevailed in the small city derby against Kasimpasa, the upcoming opponent in the Türkiye Kupasi, abroad. Accordingly, the role of favorites in the round of 16 of the Turkish Cup is understandable, after all, Fenerbahce also benefits from the home advantage in the Sükrü Saracoglu Stadium.
Across all competitions, the canaries recently celebrated three home wins in a row, including the successful cup opener against the amateur club Karacabey Belediyespor, where the second guard was mainly used.
Although there is no easy task waiting with Kasimpasa, it is by no means absurd that Bulut also rotates on Thursday evening. The Süper Lig has a much higher priority than the rather insignificant Turkish Cup.
It would therefore hardly be surprising if Fenerbahce had to give up in the round of 16. Last season, the canaries in the cup tried to limit damage, but missed the semi-finals in the final. After a total score of 2: 5, Fenerbahce was eliminated by the Black Sea Club from Trabzon.
How far the cup adventure goes this season depends mainly on how much the cup is rotated. On Thursday evening, head coach Erol Bulut will largely have all options in the squad. Only three players have to pause due to injury.
Kasimpasa :
Before the latest match day in the Süper Lig, Kasimpasa had four consecutive wins without a win, including three defeats, in which even a goal was missed. All the more surprising was the strong performance last Monday when the blue-whites prevailed in the difficult away game in Alanya.
Kasimpasa not only celebrated their second away win of the current season, but also missed the first home defeat for the Süper Lig’s strongest team at home. For long stretches the table-13. the Süper Lig act outnumbered, but could successfully defend the lead from the first half.
If you consider how weak the defense was in the previous games, the performance in Alanya can be called a snapshot. Under Fuat Capa, the current trainer, Kasimpasa had to struggle with defensive problems throughout.
In the last five competitive games, the blue-whites conceded twelve goals, on average more than two per game. Above all abroad there was room for improvement, after all, there were already 16 goals conceded in nine away games. Only Erzurum BB and Denizlispor received more hits abroad than Kasimpasa.
After the convincing performance in Alanya it remains to be seen whether the blue-whites will take the latest momentum with them into the upcoming cup game. Fuat Capa will have to complain about seven failures in the second round of the Türkiye Kupasi, including two serious defenses.
