Kayserispor vs Fenerbahce Prediction & Betting tips
Only eight games remaining in the Süper Lig. The gap to the top of the table and thus the desired title win is still six points that Fenerbahce Istanbul has to catch up. Since only four points could be won in the last four games, you had to relinquish the third place to Besiktas Istanbul. To make the championship for the team of Aykut Kocaman still possible, one is more than ever dependent on the loss of points of the other top teams from Istanbul, which occupy the first three places. For Fenerbahce, a direct encounter with one of these teams is no longer on the board. At the same time, the gap is also six points to pursuer Trabzonspor, who would like to oust Fenerbahce from his Europa League Qulification pitch. Kayserispor, on the other hand, is still in a good sixth place in the table, even though a Europa League qualifier is seven points away. A win against Fenerbahce would make Kayserispor narrow the gap to this important fourth place to four points.
Kayserispor:
Overall, the Kayserispor team have done quite well in the current season. After the rise in the Süper Lig in the season 14/15 they fought in the following seasons of the highest Turkish league still against relegation. Now, the club from the central Turkish city of Kayseri has managed to bite into the top third of the table after a furious start to the season. Decisive was that of the first fifteen games only two games were lost. Many victories were, however, hard won. Of the last five games, three were lost. The other two games were won, but only a narrow 3: 2-mandatory victory against the defeated bottom club Karabükspor and the also close victory away against Kasimpasa Istanbul, but despite a 0-2 lead and a man more in the field in the second half was almost out of hand.
After the 2-0 defeat against Konyaspor, the nerves of coach Marius Sumudica’s side are likely to be tense, with some players coming to an end towards the end of the final. The number one goalkeeper in Kayserispor still fails due to injury and the substitute goalkeeper collected in the stoppage time in the last game a dismissal and thus a suspension for the upcoming game against Fenerbahce. Sumidica will now have to rely on young and inexperienced substitute goalkeeper Vedat Karakus, who will now make his debut in the Süper Lig against Fenerbahce. In addition, the center-back Christian Sapunaru is also yellow-locked. Kayserispor is still a strong team in their own city, but they know how to play to their advantage. After all, you have lost only one of the last six home games and that against the leaders Galatasaray.
Fenerbahce:
After a long run of success without defeat in the middle of the season, Fenerbahce has been slowed down a bit in his quest for the championship in recent games. Especially the hard and exhausting derbies in the league and cup against Besiktas Istanbul obviously put Fenerbahce off track. After the 2-0 away win over Malatyaspor and the 0-0 in the last game against Galatasaray, the team of coach Kocaman could stabilize the situation again something. Nevertheless, there are now two defeats and only one victory from the last four games in the balance sheet, which means a major setback in the fight for the championship. Will Fenerbahce still have a chance to win the title this season, a win against Kayserispor is a must.
Away, Fenerbahce always performed well this season. Of thirteen competitive games on foreign space only one was lost and that was the 3-1 defeat against Besiktas Istanbul. In any case, Fenerbahce is quite capable of asserting itself at Kayserispor, especially since the offensive is fully operational. Only striker Vincen Janssen is still injured, as well as midfielder Zeybek and left defender Köybasi. The last game against Galatasaray ended only with a 0-0, but it was a quite equivalent exchange of blows of both teams. Fenerbahce showed his fighting ability as a team and above all his determination not to be defeated in the championship fight.
