Kayserispor vs. Fenerbahçe match predictions!

Kayserispor and Fenerbahçe will face each other in the seventeenth week of the Turkish Super Lig.

Before this match, we have compiled the standout statistics about the game and the analysts’ predictions.

Kayserispor, who hasn’t won any of the seven Super Lig matches against Fenerbahçe since the 1-0 victory in November 2019 (1W 6D), earned their only point away in the 2021/22 season (2-2). Fenerbahçe, having won the last three Super Lig matches against Kayserispor as the away team, aims to continue their longest winning streak against this opponent.

Pre-match Notes

• Kayserispor, having won its last two Super Lig matches against Istanbul teams, achieved a longer streak last between August and October 2021 (4W).
• Fenerbahçe, facing the top three teams in the league table in the last five Super Lig matches, won only one of them (1W 3D), securing the victory in the last encounter by defeating Beşiktaş 3-1 away.
• Kayserispor, undefeated in their last seven Super Lig matches (6W 1D) and winning the last two without conceding a goal, looks to secure three consecutive victories for the first time since December 2011.
• Fenerbahçe, the only team this season in the Super Lig without an away defeat (6W 1D), last started a season with a longer unbeaten streak on the road in the 2005/06 season (8W 1B).
• Fenerbahçe leads the Super Lig this season in ball recoveries (154), shots taken (34), and goals scored (8). On the other hand, Kayserispor is one of three teams (along with Galatasaray and Çaykur Rizespor) that have failed to score with balls recovered from opponents.
• Kayserispor’s forward Mame Thiam (11), who is preparing to take the field to reach his highest-scoring season in his Super Lig career, is currently the player contributing the most points to his team with 13 goals this season.
• Dusan Tadic, who made only one assist in the first six Super Lig matches this season (against Gaziantep FK), has contributed to a total of 12 goals (7 goals & 5 assists) in the subsequent nine matches.

Kayserispor vs. Fenerbahçe match predictions

Recep Özerin – Mackolik: Match Result X

“Kayserispor, who has earned 19 points from the last seven matches in the league, is one of the most in-form teams of the season. The only match they dropped points in during this period was against Adana Demirspor, which they let slip away. Recep Uçar places great importance on team defense, especially evident in their home performances this season, where they conceded only three goals in eight matches. On the other hand, Fenerbahçe, having returned with 19 points from the seven away games played so far, has only conceded a penalty goal from Alex Chamberlain’s foot. They also excel in team defense and, of course, find the net with their quality attackers. However, Edin Dzeko will miss this match due to injury, a crucial component in Fenerbahçe’s attacking organization. Kayserispor, with their current form, could capitalize on this absence. Considering the high odds, it’s an ideal match to try for a draw.”

Görkem Candan – Nesine: Both Teams to Score

“Fenerbahçe has returned to its identity from the beginning of the season with Fred’s comeback. Following the victory at Besiktas and the 4-0 win against Spartak Trnava, they secured the leadership in the Conference League and advanced directly to the Round of 16. Kayserispor is also one of the most in-form teams in the league, having not lost for seven matches, with six of them resulting in victories. They are unbeaten at home in the Super Lig this season. I expect a match where both teams will find the net.”

Tansu Gürsel – Nesine: Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score

“Kayserispor is having a season that exceeds expectations, showcasing a productive style of play with a focus on both competitiveness and scoring goals. The home team has been undefeated for seven weeks. Fenerbahçe, with the return of Fred and Djiku, has regained momentum, achieving good results in both the league and Europe. Expecting a high-scoring match with goals from both teams, I anticipate the 2.5-goal barrier to be surpassed.”

Before the Galatasaray derby, Fenerbahçe, eager not to drop points, will look to maintain its performance in away matches this season. In the absence of Edin Dzeko, Michy Batshuayi will fill the void left by the Bosnian striker. Fenerbahçe is the favorite for the match.
